I disagree. About one third of the THANKS section of mandoc(1) release notes typically consists of thanking people who asked for features. Heck, i have even used presentations at international conferences to thank people who asked for features. As an example, i still fondly remember Paul Onyschuk's question on August 9, 2014: "Are there any plans for providing a man(1) command also? This would make mdocml a possible, standalone replacement for the groff and man-db combination (typical in Linux distributions)." My first impulse was to reply "no, i dislike that idea". Then i reconsidered, and less then three weeks later, it was done. Nowadays, i could no longer imagine living without it. For details, see pages 40-44 (marked SURPRISE TOPIC) of these slides: https://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon2014-mandoc-slides.pdf The "thank you" mention in particular is on page 43. Yours, Ingo
