So what's your opinion of this?

I thought I was clear that I thought saying "no" by default was a good idea. It's in keeping with KISS. In software, the proper initial answer when you discuss a new feature is "no", and definitely not "sure, why not!"

Sounds like a good policy to make software small and robust.

Haha... we've been through that a number of times, I'd say. Gosh, I think I even said something similar to that at one point. I wonder if I have it in the logs...
