Comment 236 for bug 668415

You made a huge design mistake in the beginning by not making it configurable (even if such configuration would be hidden from users it should be there in case you change your mind or your boss changes his mind about where to put it). Now we all see how it ended - people want to move it, you fight because you know you made a mistake and correcting it will cost you a lot of hours, Mark Shuttleworth agrees with you because you said to him how many hours it would cost and he doesn't want to give money for that. Keep that in mind when you are making such decisions in the future. Making everything configurable makes your job harder at the beginning but much, much easier in the end.
