Because our biggest problem around here is that it's too easy to get patches committed, so we should add some more requirements? I think it's great to include tab completion support in initial patches if people are willing to do that, but I'm not prepared to insist on it. Anyway, it's not just a yes-or-no thing; it's pretty common that people go back later and add more tab completion to things that already have some tab completion. So if we adopt the rule you are proposing, then the next question will be whether a given patch has ENOUGH tab completion.
