Hi Job, WG,

Regardless wether it's a few lines of code or somewhat more work, still, it's *technically* *possible*.

The decision is not about technical limitations, but rather more about what is the current understood business rules and processes.

While I cannot promise anything, I have a high degree of confidence that should a sufficient portion of the community engage in non-handy-flappy discourse around this, there is a high degree of probability we could implement the community's well communicated wishes. (Whatever those may be). (-:

As has been pointed out recently, regardless of various presentations at various meetings, posting to the appropriate equivalent list to this ones, still some of our community feel we need to do *even* more in terms of communication and engagement! So I think you can understand why I'd be hesitant to implement any change or commit to doing so without a *lot* more community involvement first..

Cheers,
Daniel
