That's a really good point. It was rolling around in the back of my mind,
but I hadn't followed it to its conclusion:

"If I implement a stupid mode, most people will turn it on."

(And if I don't implement it, people will keep asking for it until
somebody does.)

What's the usual answer to this, in terms of software engineering
and security projects?
