Well, we are certainly not re-opening feature development now, so it's
not clear to me what you hope to accomplish.  Are you proposing putting
back the deprecation notice until you're satisfied that the type is
complete?  If so, what are the criteria for allowing it to be
un-deprecated?

I don't personally have a desire to ask for a bunch of new functionality
to be added to MONEY.  If any such thing happens, it should be driven
by requests from actual users of the type, not by arbitrary criteria
invented by people who aren't using it.
