I would recommend providing the administrator an ability to override
any logic that we use to implement this behavior.

I would have ideally liked the patch to have spent some time in the
review queue after this email was sent. It does look like the patch
got merged within 2 hours after the email was sent. This interval is
grossly inadequate if you are looking to obtain any feedback that can
add value. Nevertheless I have provided my comments on the patchset.
Please incorporate them in a subsequent commit.
