It already has been "backed out" 10 hours ago. IMHO rwatson is right and
it's a bad idea to immediatly background it on some machines. The users

If there was no link on the interface you had to wait ~2 mins and tons
of requests have been sent to nowhere. Never noticed ? I wait now a
max of 2 x polling time (10 seconds).
