Well said Marco! I have been reading this mailing list for some time and have been disturbed recently-ish by how often suggestions come up for "my pet feature from another language" or "a cool idea I just had" (I am probably doing an injustice to some of the suggestions, but often they feel deeply un-Pascal-ish - I can't define it but I know it when I see it). In these circumstances, a healthy scepticism and conservatism among the development team is a good thing.
