Reading things like this comments or the whole discussion, i think
it's more about a general theme. You could compare it to politicans
and people or with a house and it's inhabitants. They all need one
thing: rules they can rely on. Currently there's just a large gap
filled with emotions on both sides...

Possible Q#1: How many downloads would such a plugin need?
Possible Q#2: When does an idea get's accepted as a possible
alternative?
