Oh, I totally appreciate that. It's one of the great improvements in 9.5,
and one of the best things is that it's an "automatic improvement" that
doesn't require the users to change their applications to benefit from it.
But it's also currently badly broken on some of our most common platforms.
We want to get it back to working. But short-term, it's more important to
limit the scope of the brokenness, since this is a version that people are
putting in production. Once we have enough info to safely say we've put a
workaround in place, we turn it back on.
