I agree with this point.

I'm certainly willing to try implementing and see how risky it  
looks.   I just want us all to have the same expectations about the  
nature and possible impact of a fix.
Allocating time to functional tests would have benefit that is  
multiplied for all developers, since there's always the risk of  
unexpected side-effects from a fix.

I haven't noticed the monitor code at the top of the profiles that I  
did but I haven't done any profiles in a about a week.
