kernel developers shouldn't let lack of imagination dictate what users 
can't do. just because it's not useful to you doesn't mean it's not 
important to someone else.

things you learn from supporting larg customer bases. don't try to second 
guess and dictate what your customers need. give them flexibility to do 
what they need.
