And we need something more tangible than a promise to consider ideas only after they have been rendered into code. Like someone saying "this is what would please us" so it's possible to target the code to please the people that have to be pleased -- the group of people smaller than the whole who are in charge of vetting all code contributions. That's sort of the point of having discussions in the first place: to ask "what is the policy?" and keep asking until we get an answer other than "there is none".
