Perhaps the goal was indeed to avoid non tested new shapers in LO that could
bring some havoc.
So by hard coding shapers, you're sure you won't have problems.
Now of course, if nobody ever test new shapers, LO will be stuck with old
ones.

Anyway, now you got an account, once you had already submitted your license
(see

I'll put Khaled in cc, he certainly will bring interesting thoughts here.
