I would with some hesitation agree to this.

For some apps, it's probably the only sensible route.
Expecting the porter of a huge app that did little more than simply 
package it, and write 3 or 4 lines of description to take the leap to 
screwing with core portions of the event loop is hard.

It should not be a blocker if there is no practical way to change it.
But for apps where it should be possible to change this easily, it 
should remain.

populate with links to info on how to change, as well as flesh it out 
some more.
