Maybe this is something to point out in the upgrading documents since
that way it seems it could be put off to the next release? It sure
sounds like a feature, and one about which there still seems to be
fair disagreement. It would indeed be nice, but it doesn't sound
like a show stopper to me if the proposal doesn't have anyone turning
up with the code to back it.
