Trying to make any sort of modification to code this fragile is risky, especially during what's supposed to be a stabalization phase (which is what Greg is requesting). It just seems completely irresponsible for something that isn't actually a practical problem.

For details as to why this is a problem, please see the kobject.txt file.
Please fix this up, as you have seen, people end up cutting-and-pasting bad code.
