well .. what Pierre (and me supporting him) was asking for is to  
create an RFC page that details the actual sticking points with this  
feature so that they can then discuss the above points more if need  
be .. or we can take a vote on how to proceed. You are asking the  
general community to vote on something where there is no clear  
document describing the state of the discussion. Remember not  
everybody reads all messages and even I am likely to have forgotten a  
point raised in this thread by now .. and I have payed attention to  
this thread from the very beginning. Writing an RFC is not about  
making your life miserable .. and its not about stalling your request  
either.
