To be a bit more precise and constructive: We have had workarounds of 
all sorts in the codebase but have been working hard to eliminate them, 
especially over the last year or so.  To achieve this we have put an 
embargo on new workarounds, whatever gets freshly added has to be 
minimally intrusive and strictly based on feature checks, not on OS 
checks, version checks and similar things.

best regards

Diego
