@zzt Here's another example, extremely Mozilla-related.
Back in the Triassic, let's say 1996, there were a bunch of puddingheads at my company who wanted to introduce C++ across the Mozilla codebase. Many of us (who were right) said "this is unnecessary and will needlessly destabilize our cross-platform product. No. NFW. Please no...? OMG no...?") and it happened anyway.
Now imagine those same idiots had some press release say "but we will have a C++ kill switch. That customers can turn on."
