Providing a workaround has been stupid in the first place, and it is 
still stupid. Why support software which hasn't been able to fix a known 
bug in more than 5 years?

Every time you start providing such workarounds it is your fault too if 
the original bug doesn't get fixed!

/me blames apache + IIS
