Fix them! This direction was first announced in 4Q1999; 2.5 years ought to

This change improves your security, so it'd be rational to be happy about

In any case, you can probably override it for your web space with a
.htaccess directive, should you want to persist in your resistance to

you should find the person who taught you and tweak their nose.
