Just talked to Walter and I think it's safe to drop this, although I 
clearly agree with the principle.

We have a strategic potential user who could make a large difference in 
terms of corporate D adoption. We've been advised to not divulge much 
information so far because they only want to announce after they've 
committed and in a specific setting.

Clearly that shouldn't mean the community's views and needs should be 
neglected! However, given our commitment to better process in the 
future, we hope to get agreement on letting this one rushed feature be.

I count on your understanding.


Thanks,

Andrei
