Well, to be fair about that, the feature was implemented but never
extensively tested, and certainly not enough to release it as a
finished feature. So it was left as a message to future developers.
Then people from the future came along and said "whoa! look at that!".

Absolutely. That's why the discussions going on over at the web forum
are so important. I think we need to talk about these things as or
before they get implemented, so that we can brainstorm about possible
pitfalls, dead ends, etc. I'm currently having an argument with Mark
about a certain feature, and I have no doubt that he'll win, but I
think I still have some valid points to make before I'm ready to give
in.
