Let me then be more clear. I think that every one of us is free to express his opinion about a given subject. I did not object to the fact that some people voted for the new feature (without necessarily detailing their reasons). So maybe it is not entirely fair that you or somebody else objects to me giving my opinion (with arguments -explaining why I think it is not needed). Having said this, let us stop the polemic, it is not terribly productive. No bad feelings :-)
