The user API has always been a challenge for this feature but I thought
we had it ironed out.  What I didn't anticipate were the configuration
complaints, and if those are valid, the feature should be removed since
we can't improve it at this point, nor do I have any idea if that is
even possible without unacceptable negatives.  If the configuration
complaints are invalid, what we have now is very good, I think, though
adding more warnings about misconfiguration would be wise.
