Nobody said anything about *having* to pay for anything. The
question was whether or not ppl feel that a particular unsupported feature
was important enough to them, *right now* to cover the costs of paying a
contract programmer to do it *right now*.
Its a matter of some company saying "I need this feature right
now, and am willing to throw X dollars at it to get it moved to a higher
priority position to get it done" vs. "right now, this feature isn't
scheduale till v6.4 or v6.5 or...etc"...
