Fully agree.  I used to complain when people started new resources with new 
names and duplicate functions because I believed (and I still do) that they 
are a waste of resources.  In the meantime I have grown more tolerant of such 
duplication of effort and just don't waste *my* time on them.  What others do 
with their time is their call.

The pragmatic approach of trying to improve what is already there tend to be 
the most efficient and what you write makes generally sense to me.  That said, 
if you can help with the "create mailing list" search term, you may have a 
bright and rich future in the highly competitive arena of $EO.  IMHO Some 
things are beyond embellishment / quick fix.  You are welcome to prove me 
wrong and I'll be happy to pay you a beer.  In release notes such issues are 
mostly mentioned under "known limitations" and they will stay there until 
somebody finds them painful enough to put in the necessary effort to fix them, 
which usually require a redesign and not a simple quick fix.
