It's another strategy: add as many of the features that a few users
ask for, regardless of what the specification. This is what many
commercial appservers often do, basically. It's quite amazing you
cannot seem to accept that I do not like this policy.
Filip agreed that if it went against the specification then
the patch had no place being committed. In fact, I think
everyone did :)
If, however, the specification is moot, then the decision
on "how much to add in response to user or developer
desire" is, I think we all agree, a personal choice...
I can certainly see your PoV where each feature is
extra code to maintain and increases the footprint
of TC. I can also see Filip and Tim's PoV that extra
features that make users/developers happy are "worth"
it.
(Jim has this funny mental image of Remy and Filip
in those Samurai Fat Suits resolving their differing
PoVs :) )
