Well, it's very much unsolved. Because users don't care about masking
once they've learned how to get around it. As I said before _beta,
masking will only hold back some and tell that it's unstable. But we'll
end up supporting the stuff anyway.

This is just as the /incoming directory which many users started to use
even though they shouldn't.
