I disagree.  First, it is on the TODO list, so it is open game.  Second
it is not throughout all the code, it only gets activated if someone
executes the command.  Third, I don't know of any time limit that
features have to be implemented a certain number of weeks _before_ beta
starts.

Everyone asks for this, and if it does only %70 of the job, that is fine
as long as the manual page says so.
