I have, I've also taken into account that if you remove it we will be shipping 
a workspace with no software at all to configure your screens for a long time. 

Ok, there's a different software that works better, but this one seems to work 
for some people (or at least won't kill their puppies) and the other one is 
distributed in an "extra" tarball.

"known for not working well" seems like a bit of FUD, if there's known errata, 
we should explain the cases in which it doesn't work. Because I'm using it and 
works for my use case so "known for not working well" is too broad and fear-
creating.

That works for me
