Agreed. For you and many others, it is not a big deal indeed.

Exactly! The "need of best performance" [and least administrative
overhead] is what we are trying to accommodate in this case. Since many
Squid improvements during the last 5+ years are sponsored by "large
scale users", I do not think it is a good idea to reject their requests
just because they are irrelevant to others. What do you think?
