Well, I was under the impression that there already was consensus
that this was a good idea. You mentioned this feature had been discussed
back in 2011, and it has existed on trunk for ages. So I didn't see any
reason to question it.
But if you're unsure about the design/implementation or the driving
use cases, then yes, we should discuss these concerns. Could you be
more specific about what exactly your concerns are?
