This predicates the need for some means of control. One can easily envision
tens of varying efforts to resolve a widespread issue that have differing
approaches and, probably at some point, poor implementations of resolution
(with their probable adverse impact on the host). The beneficiaries of this
programmatic benelovence then have to contend with the original point at
issue (which is usually well documented) alongside the tens of possible
attempts at resolution which would be near impossible to get documentation
on and one would still need to discover which means of resolution was
attempted on their host(s) .
