Calm down everyone. This is not a case of people saying "this is needed
you go write it" (take a look at the subject line, this thread started
when someone sent in a patch to allow it) this is a case of people saying
"this is needed, here is one way of doing it" with other people saying
"this is a bad idea".
Argue the merits of the proposal, don't start name-calling and spouting
the "if you want it write it" line, people are doing just that.
Back to the _technical_ discussion
David Lang
"If users are made to understand that the system administrator's job is to
make computers run, and not to make them happy, they can, in fact, be made
happy most of the time. If users are allowed to believe that the system
administrator's job is to make them happy, they can, in fact, never be made
happy."
