Doesn't matter now though since the plan already is to get parity in this
area for the 8.0 release. Depending on how well we execute and what happens
to the schedule we might be able to do better in one significant aspect
(that I can't talk about yet). But customer feedback isn't needed anymore
unless you want to make a passionate argument that we do NOT need to do this
work and should do something else instead. We heard the feedback loud and
clear.
