Of course.  If existing functionality does the trick, no need to 
re-invent the wheel.  Dunno,  it's only the most general of questions 
but still, it could be that local ad hoc hacks would be something we 
might see now and again -- or, as you say, maybe that is happening, but 
just not on -users.  Back in my DOS days, given the limitations on 
memory, one would make specific modifications to the code to solve some 
local issue rather than try to build more functionality into the base 
code -- too much unaffordable bloat. Different culture for different OS.
