well, you can't stop people from shooting themselves in their feet entirely. Its
even easier changing your package repository between multiple branches changing
the path in environment or local.conf. Do you want to prevent people from doing
this too?
I do not say the situation is ideal, but if we want to start working on
usability issues we should start with more important ones.

Greetings
