Step 1. Add AI. Step 2. Add (broken) switch. Step 3. Pretend to fix switch. Step 4. Hide switch in sub-menus. Step 5. Remove switch.
... And all they actually need to do is make "AI" an extension. Let the users install it if they want to, or don't. That's the whole point of extensions. But they would never dream of that, hell no.
