Don't suppose you noted the views of the other 6?

I didn't realize the vote was even close for acceptance. I only
remember Josh saying he would use it. Saying we should have it to
remain "cutting-edge" doesn't strike me as a valid reason for inclusion,
but more of a philosophical one, which worries me. I would like it
added because people want its functionality, not because it is somehow
cool.
