> I think Opinionated can be good.

It can be. In fact it's almost essential if you are handing out knives to children; you want someone doing who is very opinionated about the dangers posed by sharp knives.

There was a recent HN post making the same point about JWT's. JWT's allow the null cipher, and in the hands of people who might not appreciate the disaster caused production code accepting JWT's using the null cipher you want a _very_ opinionated implementation that prevents it.

But for me, such an implementation would be a total pain in the arse. The null cipher is there to make debugging easier - getting things working for the first time can be very difficult without it. You can stick your opinions on whether I should be using it where the sun don't shine.
