Well there is a problem with this too. A good example is hints. A lot of
the community wants hints. A lot of the community doesn't. The community
changes as we get more mature and more hackers. It isn't hard to point
to dozens of items we have now that would have been on that list 5 years
ago.

I would have to agree here. The idea that we have to search email is bad
enough (issue/bug/feature tracker anyone?) but to have someone say,
search the archives? That is just plain rude and anti-community.
