That's true for most features, and that's normal - in fact, I can't
remember a feature or a fix where we had a flood of people coming to the
list.

And a pretty strange reason to refuse a new thing - nobody develops new
things by sitting and waiting for people to complain enough about not
having this exact thing. Apple didn't make iPhone because a lot of
people came to them and asked them to make an iPhone. Of course, I'm not
comparing my little RFC to a technological breakthrough, but the whole
premise that new things can be made only when enough people complained
about not having it sounds wrong to me.
