I'm not fond of giving up any ability to support a configuration just
because some people get it wrong (including configurations where the
human *can't* screw it up because the fixed end is some old hub or NIC
that doesn't support anything other than 10Mbit, half-duplex), especially
when the benefit of not supporting it is so low.

OK, good. :-)
