For hacks, I use REVIEW to declare that this code is the way it is but an aspiring soul is welcome to submit a PR that replaces this code with a working version of the "right way to do it". It shifts the burden from the developer who made it work to the developer who would prefer it work some other way which allows the project to make progress.
