line.

Please place final requests on the bug tracker with status Feature Request.
We cannot hope to filter all mails that pass through the mailing lists for
final versions of requests and make a guess at what is actually being
requested. That is, we dont (often) convert requests on here into bugs
ourselves, so they will get missed.

thanks
Craig
