I am more interested in a survey of 20 people that have large projects
that tried to use such an option and whether they thought there was
any use for it.
I would be more interested in you trying out such an option, and then
telling us how wonderful and beneficial it is, and how it helped you.
In the end, I can't help but think that we'll make all this noise
about it, even implement it and that at the end of the day, not once
person will use it or find it useful. A feature without use, isn't a
feature. An option, without a feature, is pointless.
