Up until now I had the impression that we were going to be supposed to work
like that: use on of both, but never both systems together. So the point of
the "do not mix" warning/error I suggested now seems more like a display of
my ignorance than anything else. It's never too late to learn, I guess :)

I suspect a typo on your part, but if they don't care then why is the
extra overhead important?

Looks like all my original questions have been answered so thanks for
taken the time to do that :)
