If there was a ISO server room standard somewhere that specified no
automatically generated free ice cream, but a 200-line patch would
include this feature in Xen (disabled by default), I'd say the right
thing to do is to include the patch, standard be damned.  More to the
point, if generating free ice cream was a natural byproduct of
whatever we were doing already, and someone said, "But the standard
says no automatic free ice cream" and submitted a patch to disable it,
I'd argue against it too.  Same principle applies. :-)
