Well one has bug(s) and is poorly named for what it actually 
implements. It isn't being fixed because of "reasons". The other 
is a feature that is working as intended, preventing the user 
from doing something they shouldn't be doing. I know which one I 
would be frustrated with more, especially if it wasn't the first 
bug I've encountered ;).
