Sorry, forgot to reply to all...
So far that's two people that have expressed a concern against the feature. I seem to be the only one that thinks it's a good idea. Everybody else is indifferent or hasn't voiced their opinion on the matter. While two against one is large in ratio I believe the sample size is incredibly small and thus the possibility of error is likely to be high. Clearly, I'm in the minority. However, here's a more objective outlook on the status quo. On one hand we have user notes that has been around for as long as the manual has been around. On the other hand we have virtually zero new features that have been introduced to user notes, save a handful of minor improvements. That means the only action taken so far has either been inaction or opposition. By introducing new features we open up the possibility for gaining a better user experience as well as introducing more maintenance opportunities. For this I have no doubt maintenance can become an issue. I don't see anyone else stepping up to offer more help in this area so I guess no one is really interested or motivated enough about this feature. I believe I've demonstrated, at least to some small degree, however, that I am interested and committed. It'll be really easy to just drop that one feature and stick with voting. The code is already written and tested. So the hard part is already done. My emphasis, though is on showing people that the PHP project can and does still put in effort to introduce new small changes where possible and that can have -- if nothing else -- an inspirational effect on others to either take part in these changes or simply remain indifferent. Either way we only stand to gain something since people are already verily indifferent about user notes as it is. I'll be happy to demonstrate my commitment in the long run and keep working on better ways to improve where possible, but if no one else expresses a desire for the feature then I'll gladly drop it. I appreciate and welcome all constructive criticism and I'll take this as a learning experience :)
