I love XKCD, but this particular strip has been used to justify all sorts of arbitrary and negative decisions. XSLT support is not a bug.

Same could be said for many other strips.

It’s always about balance. I think I read, somewhere, that Microsoft actually reintroduced bugs into their OS, because so many people depended on workarounds and the buggy behavior.
