It was thus said that the Great colecmac at protonmail.com once stated:

To be honest, I am leaning to keeping the feature, because it's what I want, and
it's my client, goddamnit! If Drew still says he will go ahead with the
blackhole then I will add a manual exception for his domains. This is obviously
an ugly thing to do, reminiscent of WebKit Quirks[1], but I don't see another
option.

Keep the feature but don't add a "quirks" mode. It will hurt Drew in thelong term. I use Amfora and enable favicon.txt support. I go to Drew'ssite and get banned. Oh, Amfora isn't working for his site, let me tryanother client. Oh, I'm *still* banned? WTF? Okay, I'll just skip thissnowflake site then. Or maybe I (and other former Amfora users who gotbanned and switched clients) send email to Drew asking to be reinstated.

Also, this message from Drew:

Seriously, who put Drew in charge?
