Fine, I don't have the hard proof at hand, since my 
compilation-error state programs don't tend to go into version 
control systems.  Perhaps I can track them too if such statistics 
can be shown to have some real value.

On the other hand, I'm fine with the current state, and without 
evidence from your side, it's not going to change.  So the 
inversion of who should bring proofs is also a false claim.
