There will always be some users getting confused by anything...

If the majority of users got confused, we need to fix the UI to be more
clear. If it's just a marginal minority... Well, you can't please

I don't like removing features. And in fact, I think this would be a
good feature to have. (Of course, on-demand should not be the default.)
