Um, this kind of elitist crap really isn't helpful. If the new feature gets created, and you don't want to use it, turn it off. No problem. I appreciate the people who've spoken up as to why they wouldn't want to use it, but I haven't seen anything yet that says "having this feature is a universally bad idea."
