Yeah, I don't mean to veto the idea, I think we've discussed it before
and it's kind of appealing.  I just think we haven't thought it through
and we don't have any real reason it's necessary right now.  I'd hate to
send someone down that rabbit hole and have the come back with a bunch
of work and us say "uh, but why do we want this?".
