That's a very narrow-minded statement.  There's no reason why you can't
equip a machine with a software-controlled disconnect AND two
code-conforming disconnects.  (Or 3, or 4, for that matter.) With the
number of super-jerko-dummy computer users in the world at an all-time
high and climbing, I cannot conscience doing away with something that
makes the world safer for all concerned.
