I don't think that the thread should go silent. Instead, I think we should work toward looking for a solution. The question about how a script to test TESTMODE may be written is out. Perhaps someone can shed some light on that.

In addition to working toward a solution, we need to keep listening to people's disappointment. I wanted to rant before I could think about finding a solution and other people do too.

It is good to have the listen-to-disappointment thread and the find-a-solution thread be the same thread because 1) the solution can help with disappointment and 2) disappointment can help push for a solution. They are different sides of the same coin.

I'm on the find-a-solution side now, but if you're disappointed/angry whatever, community falls apart when people don't express their negative ideas as well as the positive. Let's not fall into "group think" whenever there is a problem.

Now... Any ideas on what a test TESTMODE script would look like? Would it call the OS? Use DBUS? Need a special lib file? I don;t know, but I bet someone has at least an idea.
