Perhaps reading my message again is in order. I think it is pretty obvious that the a user shouldn't determine if a patch should be applied. My whole point was that if people are clamoring for the feature, it could drive that feature to be more aggressively reviewed. I can't even count how many times I see: This seems like a corner case feature, I don't think we should add it. So I am suggesting a way to insure that the feature is not considered corner case. (if it is indeed not a corner case) Sincerely, Joshua D.
