On the other hand, too many nice-ities added in this sort of way can tie
you hands. Modifications/overhauls that make sense to the core set of
functionality (as an MTA) may make some feature that are not core (but was
added due to it's ease at the time) hard to accomodate ... it would be
shame to see such a situation arise and force a compromise ...
