Well, I'm happy to report that this idea was passed on to an internal forum for Admins and Developers and was well received with a lot of positive feedback. I will caution you all however that there is no guarantee that any of it will be implemented or any timeline that can be given if it was going to be. The development process takes time and is complex and many ideas that seem good at first sometimes fail upon testing or closer examination. Sometimes other features and ideas take priority.
Having said all that, this is a fine piece of work. Hats off to Eclipse for an excellent, well designed proposal and to all of you for all your help in making it so. This should give you all a good model of the kind of proposal that will get attention. I strongly encourage you to emulate it.
