Nobody is asking of you to have a testable with every idea you bounce of the mailinglist, but this does ask for a testable setup at some point before implementing. I understand this is a pain, because it runs the risk of rejection after you put in enough effort to make a prototype. But better a community cry out at a proto than at a full implementation ready to merge into core. In other words, all discussion is welcome, with or without proto, but don't expect final community buy in before we have been able to toy around with it. > > > 2013/4/9 Amir E.
