It's just a general observation, that (1) the people who want
something are the most likely ones to invest in getting it, (2) if
nobody else wants to do it, it's the *only* way to get it, and (3) if
you volunteer to do it, most likely the admins will let you :-)

Convincing someone your idea is cool is one thing, convincing them to
implement it is another.

I think *any* tool in general, should provide options for multiple
policies (if practical) and let the user decide which they're going to
follow.  Unix applies this theory to its tools more than other OSs.
