Comment:

 Replying to [comment:10 karmatosed]:
 > This came up in ux-feedback triage and seems like a plugin would be
 better for this. Tentatively suggesting a close.

 Having looked at the logs there didn't seem t be a great deal of
 discussion. What reasons are behind the thought process that this is
 'better' handled by a plugin?

 There are plugins available of course but the code overhead of loading an
 entire plugin to address what is covered in the patch above which contains
 12 new lines of code seems like a good reason to have this in core.
 Additionally, there may be a good number of users looking for this who
 cannot find the plugins (as they haven't been updated for years) to
 deliver the functionality.

 Is there any direct feedback on the way the current patch looks?
