That is puzzling. Because it really is a great freedom. If you wish
others to play, then the minimum requirement is a patch against a Lua
version. People aren't averse to binaries, either, especially on
consumer OS machines (which increasingly also means OS X)
Perhaps the idea that the what-if isn't so crucial feels insulting?
Well, de gustibus non disputandum, but by the same token others may
not feel the urgency.
