Comment 11 for bug 690926

Stephan,

I did not "just mark the bug Invalid," and I do not appreciate any suggestion that I closed it without consideration for the contents or without formulating a response. I explained how this functionality is now exposed, then closed the bug. I could have left it open to avoid offending you, but that would mislead people into believing that a different decision had been made.

This is not a matter of ivory towers, but this is not design by committee either. Scope needs to be defined for any project lest it fall into the perils of feature creep, and we have done so here.

It is not a "more or less obscure command line option". The option exists and it is documented. Furthermore, your comment that "it is important to many people" is baseless. What people? I am only interested in cold hard numbers here, not endless speculation. If you feel that the lack of this option fails to address a significantly large use case, then please detail that use case with some data to back up any assertions you make.

Thanks
