This awfully reminds me of xkcd927 (even though it's not a good analogy). Afaict, the problem is that we have 3 options to pick from, and it's hard for people to decide which is the "right one". I do not see how adding a 4th option will make this decision any easier (esp. since that new option is so similar to an already existing one). Just my 2¢ mfh.her.fsr IOhannes
