This is a pity! My question was only to point out the today situation 
and our will...

Tor point us out the situation resulting from his studies and tests so I

I think that some problem fix may bring us to a good code change, 
possibly updating his, sometimes ancient, choices...

We are human beings: we can change Things! ;-)
