The change here is new and needs a different way, yes. Nothing against
that. But the same result has been reached before in a far easier way,
it's not only a new way, it's a more complicated way. That's the
point.

Yes, you see that correctly: a script which is needed because the
proper way is a regression in usability :)

Don't misunderstand me - if this change is needed because of another
change then it's ok by me. But that does not mean I have to be over
enthousisastic about something which makes things not easier but quite
the contrary.
