I won't argue against that. But I suggest that the best conceptual organization for this would have these two levels: 1. A control to enable or disable the functionality. 2. Various ways to specify preference of back end for various parts of it. I suggest that #1 be simple, as lots of people will want to enable the functionality, and that we put the complexity into #2 since it would be used by more sophisticated users to make more sophisticated choices. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
