I think we should be thinking about what features are the ones that are easy to implement and have the biggest impact. I worry that many requests are hard to implement and have medium to low impact. The hard to implement & low impact features are the ones to avoid.
It's hard to judge impact (but we can each have guesses there), but it is much easier to judge difficulty to implement. I've asked Joe to keep this in mind so he doesn't burn up many programmer hours on issues which have small impact.
