How could the manufacturers release the Pi 4 with this incredible flaw? This is so irresponsible. I was all set to order a Pi 4 as soon as it became readily available, but this bit of fecklessness makes me think my money would be better spent on other things.

It's always been a good idea. You don't need one if you're running your 4 headless and not demanding a lot from it. The PoE hat has a fan (no PoE hat for the 4 yet, afaik) and let's face it, PoE is another feature that you probably want on your pi.

Heatsinks have always been a good idea for the Pi's. I think at this point it's just expected the aftermarket will take care of it for them.

I don't really get the idea of these powerful versions, I always thought the goal was cheap and low-power.
