I have learned that whenever anything is "X if Y" it means it is really weak at X and "if Y" is just a workaround. This has saved me a lot of grief in life by identifying my personal emotional attachment to things.

That’s great, but unless you know some secret perfect technology that the rest of us don’t, every tech you use is also full of these workarounds, you just ignore them because you like the tech.

Also, hx-boost isn’t really a workaround, it’s a fully supported and documented feature.

But I really want hx-hyper, when is that going to be released?
