(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #12)

TBH, I think John is taking his criticism too far.

That said - this is a _design_ proposal, not an _implementation_ proposal. A
user can say "I want this-and-that command available", even though the
implementation might be hard and different from what we have now - and it might
still be a relevant bug if we identify a valid use-case; similarly, a designer
can say "we should have our Tabbed Compact UI look like this", without being
concerned about how that is to be implemented.

This is just our bugzilla, it does not hold next month's deadlines.

Your point about the weakness in our ability to implement something like this
is well-taken.

Finally:

It would be easier to maintain, perhaps, but would not be better for project
health, since meeting (some) users' basic UI expectations, as much as I dislike
them, is important to project health.
