Agreed.

Yes, *iff* using Yelp for a very marginal usecase doesn't force us to
add too many kludges (18-fix_offline_website_css_for_yelp comes to
mind), or to implement too many upstream fixes ourselves (we had to
fix #7285 ourselves there). Things would certainly look different to
me if we had a C/Glib programmer or three on board.

Anyway, created #7409 to address this, gave it #7285 and #7390 as
children, and downgraded all that to Normal priority. Fair enough?

Cheers!
