| Jan 15 at 4:42 | comment | added | uhoh | @SimonGeard yes I agree, though I think it's more about not doing things where the added utility doesn't outweigh the added risk, cost and delay. | |

If it doesn't require cameras, they don't include cameras. It's not about not having room... it's a matter of not doing things that aren't useful. | |
