Prior experience with ports that have workarounds is that they never get
fixed the "right" way.  And, in the meantime, someone comes along and
copies the entire port, workaround and all, to some another port.  And
thus the workaround spreads until no one even remembers what it was for.

This may seem pedantic, but the rule is there because otherwise, it just
leaves more work for someone else to do in the future.
