Or any other way which may bother you less?) A message "Subject: [RFC] ..." that asks "Wouldn't it be wonderful if command X is extended to work like this way?", without even mentioning "leftover bits", would be far more useful. Instead of going nowhere waiting for the next round of "leftover sweep" picks it up to add it to my "leftover bits" list, it may even find a traction here ;-). The list is my personal collection of "leftover" things, i.e. topics that were raised on the list, perhaps already discussed or perhaps nobody thought them interesting, that I found when re-reading the past list traffic that did not reach a useful conclusion to result in a patch (or resolution, a shared understanding, that it is not a good idea). Getting added to the list should not be a goal. Your message is perhaps the least effective way to add an item to the list. It hasn't been discussed here, nobody seems to have felt it is a good idea, and I didn't think it is particularly interesting myself (at least not yet).
