I think your mischarectorizing his position. It's more like because he can
see a valid use case with the server tools, but doesn't see a valid use case
for the newsysviews. Inciedentally I don't even know that he is really
against the newsysviews, but given that one of the use cases was admin tools,
and he has some experience in that area, he felt the need to debunk that
reasoning. Personally I agree with that portion... if were putting them in
for admin tools, we don't need them.
