Hello Marco,

I'm not sure I understand you correctly.

Do you contest the usefullness of a more holistic approach, combining 
hardware- and software-features?

Do you just disagree? Saying that it's not a small number, but rather a 
large number of systems, that would be "special cases"?

Or do you just reiterate that there indeed are special cases?

Until further clarification I can't help but wholeheartedly agree with 
you :-).
