Dude c'mon, no need to say sorry! The suggestions you gave for CA at
Akademy were very, very helpful. I am 100% in with the idea that its better
for Files app to show the file selection :) I wasn't being sarcastic when I
talked about blacklisting.

We had just forgotten to blacklist it (or maybe it was a bug, I'm not sure

Yea, this skipped my mind (again, my fault for forgetting to put it on a
actual todo list) and by the time I realized it, it was too late.
