Dear Tolunay Orkun,
No offense but...
Wolfgang, as project leader, might take your patch but I am personally irked with the spirit of this patch and the implications. Yes, it will be optionally included by default but ugliness of the solution you present does not go away. IMHO, There should be no code in real life that simply unlocks all sectors. I guess we will have to agree to disagree.
I think flexibility is more important than "spirit" even if it is "ugly". Because by allowing doing stupid things, you can also allow doing cleaver things too.
Software is soft because it is flexible. It archives its flexibility by its ugliness.
Best regards, Sangmoon Kim
