Evil, as in pure evil? OK, make a promise you will not use ANY open networks for the entire next year, or perhaps your entire life forward. Say it here, now, and stick to it. Otherwise it is just rhetoric. In the current code there is no way to properly support both behaviours. You are speaking ahead of the current code. Lots and lots of paragraphs of text telling developers to do what they are already working towards. Can you understand that is annoying?
