i think the record is quite clear that ken, rob, presotto, et. al. were
well-aware of these things. ron has made excellent points about why
these features might be left out.
i'd like to add though, the question is not, "why not include feature x".
the question should be "why do i need feature x". in general features
just make a system bigger and more complicated. so the bias should be
to leaving them out.
