Re: [e4-dev] What not to do for demos

Ouch ! This is a part of the general
philosophy though; you should be allowed to put the model into any valid
shape. It's up to the application to ensure that unwanted (but valid) states
are handled correctly so this is where any 'safety' code should go.

Note that the shape that Brian ended
up in may well be *desired* in certain cases (which was what lead to the
enhancement request) so we have to make sure we don't add restrictions
at too deep a level....

Impressive :-)  But maybe we should open a bug to make sure you can't
exit the app in a state where you can't restart it (or at least discuss
the implications on a bug)
