The irony is deafening.

Usually, when you make a technical suggestion, the onus is on
you to support it.  "I'd do it in a compatibility layer" is not
supporting your idea; it's handwaving away all the details.
When pressed, if your response is to just double down and assert
that you already said how you would do it because you said you'd
do it in a compatibility layer without acknowledging any of the
complexities that would involve, then that means that _you_
don't understand what you are suggesting, or the problem that
was pointed out to you.  This has been evident for some time.

I think we're done here. *Plonk*
