i'm sure some of us will.

some of us will also realize that you've rehashed all the arguments in favour 
of it that have already been made in the past without a single additional 
piece of new information added, all while completely ignoring anything that 
was said against the feature.

such repetition of argumentation is a great debating technique, and the 
obvious response is to repeat verbatim everything that has been said in 
response previously. we could do so indefinitely every N months for all X 
features we don't all agree on until the person who is the most willing to 
argue endlessly "wins".

however, i have no interest in design by rhetorical gesture and as such, at 
this point, i simply do not care whether your points are valid or not. if you 
want to mare sure that something doesn't change, go at it in a way that sets a 
bad procedural precedent that would threaten the health of the project. this 
one feature is not worth turning plasma into a "rule by the most repetitive" 
project.
