You say it's "optimal" based on one twitter complainer?

Those changes were made well before 4.3, in a "Tango Testing" theme, FTR. See
also Astron's and Miroslav's GitHub accounts.

It's certainly not impossible.


Really, somebody explain why we need to switch to an oversized and even more

order to highlight them, but not everything! There was a GSoC proposal to code
