Code review comment for lp:~leonardr/launchpadlib/bug-714043

We did have a thread, in which there was a mix of people agreeing it was confusing or annoying, and people saying they think it is nice to have a "safe" mode by default.

Also, since this was first proposed, staging has been down a lot (whereas lpnet has generally been quite reliable), and it seems to me it is definitely moving towards being a non-production-quality internal-use system, and not something users ought to rely on.

(In the interim, Leonard has moved on to other projects and I'm not sure he'll chase this up, but I'm going to comment here for other people who might look at the bug or mp. I may pick this up myself eventually.)

So my overall vote, for what it's worth, is to reject this and to make lplib actually default to the real service. Clients must write code that is adequately safe when it's actually used.
