Actually, to be fair I and others have been aware of the issues for a long time and I have discussed it openly several times in #jj2. The only response was disabling it indeed, because fixing it would be a near impossible task given the current status of J2O (namely, running on two separate, only partly compatible codebases).

Admittedly, my willingness to seriously respond to cooldude's questions drops a bit every time he sends me a PM. As he has sent me a metric ton of them in the past months, it's pretty much below zero at the moment.
