I don't really mind addressing this one case that much. I'm not sure
that we want to accrue a pile of band-aids here that causes a
maintenance burden and doesn't really solve the problem completely. One
way to do that is to say no to the first band-aid. 

Yup, that was where my objection came from.

But we could also
apply it and see what happens. At the very worst it's a few extra lines
of code, and we can start to get worried on the second or third
band-aid.

That's OK as well.  But we should resolve now that we will rip all
of them out once we start seeing the second or third band-aid.  I
really do not want to see the "accring a pile of band aids" in our
future.
