The guideline, last I checked, was that before getting into coding any
item from the TODO list, the prospective hacker should check previous
discussions and initiate a new one on this list to ensure consensus.
Unless something is blatantly "not wanted", I don't think it should be
removed from the TODO list. There not being consensus does not mean
that there cannot ever be.
