That's true, but the only person I see actively campaigning for new features
(major or otherwise) appears to be you, Ferenc :)
It's *clearly* not in the scope of the RFC that Andrea put on the table -
that's consistent with the feedbacks of several different people on the
list. We'd need a different or heavily amended RFC in order to allow it.
For the record, I'm mostly indifferent to the current RFC (somwhat opposing
it as detailed in a previous email), but will clearly oppose any RFC that
suggests any sort of feature 5.7 release. Most importantly, it will delay
the strategic 7.0 release, but also - slow migration down (less reasons to
move upwards to 7.0 if you have some of these features in 5.x).
