My intent WAS NOT to publish a wish list of things which should be
changed in or added to rc.  Instead it was to show some of the things
that people had asked for and hopefully point out that if we did all
these things we would end up with a ugly bloated mess.  I was urging
restraint rather than soliciting more crazed featurism.  In case I'm
still not making myself clear, some reasonable ideas have been discussed
along with some REALLY bad ones, I don't think most of them belong in
rc.  It is supposed to be small and simple, IT IS small and simple, LETS
KEEP IT THAT WAY!
