I didn't snip ANY PART of your reply!
But your claim that I -did- is certainly pretty snippy... :)

I -am- trying to do something about the situation. Step 1 is making
sure that -any- attempt to fix it will be allowed! (Step 2 is finding
out whether my ideas on -how- to fix it make sense before a single
line of code gets written---no matter who writes it. Or are you of
the opinion that the design should come -after- the code gets
written?)
OTOH, unless Isaac is willing to have the patch committed, people are
just wasting their time making patches at all---much less, in my case,
building isolated test setups to even be -able- to make the patches.
And his reply tonight seems to indicate just that. Perhaps I
misunderstood him; we'll see if he clarifies.
And finally, there are certainly cases when someone suggested a
feature, and someone else implemented it. Witness cpinkham's recent
delayed-user-jobs commit. But it's obvious that there's some
controversy over actually keeping users from accidentally screwing
themselves, so saying "go make a patch" is premature at best.
