As far as things concern me, there will be no significant changes in
these facilities for at least some time, unless there's an
overwhelming agreement for such changes (which this thread and
previous ones doesn't seem to show).  We've rocked this boat enough;
IMO we should now leave it where it is for some time and let users get
used to it and bring us some feedback, before we embark on further
adventures.

John?
