Do you think it is worth adding this issue to the issue tracker?

This was discussed publicly March 2012.  There were like 3-to-1
suggestions against this.

There may have been private discussions as well - I dont know.

In this context - do you think it is still useful fo file for an issue
on the issue tracker?
