No, it was a deliberate attempt to point out that you (one) cannot 
constantly use the "top-end" target argument , then turn around and the 
GUI has to guide the user to know what is "safe" or not and must be 
prevented from saving work which has layers in anything but xcf because 
they won't realise that png , whatever, will loose the layers.

You (one) cannot use an argument when it suits you, then assume the 
opposite later.

No oil, just a simple statement of logic.
