   I'll take that as a `no', then.

it is a no from one user, not all users.

   Things need a reason to be there now; if and when further points
   arise in the future, we can reconsider.

the reason may not come from me or you, from a one-day strawman poll.
(i'm reminded of the douglas adams book where the notice to bulldoze the
earth was posted in a basement behind a filing cabinet somewhere. :-)

try not to get sucked into the proprietary mindset ("it's my code i can
piss on it if i want"), even as you do good work enhancing the system.
the nice hack is to build w/o destroying, because you save someone from
having to rebuild that feature later.
