Frankly, this reads quiet heavy and has a very aggressive tone... but let's 
skip this and get back to normal, shall we?

I agree it's a workaround and I agree with you that is has to be stated. But 
the worst I can EVER see on whatever site / list / forum is talking about 
'something being solved' / 'something seeming to be solved' ( which actually 
just means that 'it looks like solved ro me' and not stating any side effects 
or telling honestly that he's talking about a work around. Please try to 
distinguish between solution and workaround.. they're clearly NOT the same.
