As the Taxi Driver would say, "you talking to me?"

I agree with you, I think. You seem to think I disagree with you.

Ragnar: You say that "features are not free." That is true with one exception. Features that have already been created are free thenceforth. Removing a feature that already exists is not free.

My point with regard to percentages is this: Say a minority of people use a word processor for creating mailing labels. One could do a poll that says, "how many of you use this word processor for mailing labels" and get only 20% who use them. But that is not an argument for removing the mailing label feature from the word processor.

The argument was stated that the decision was made because users voted against the feature. The majority has spoken, was the basic claim.

But what the majority thinks is not relevant.

GA's argument was indeed decent, and I thanked him for stating it. You might have noticed that in the thread.

But that does not make the argument that the majority has spoken a good argument. That makes GA's argument a good argument.

GA seems to me to have a lot of power, and I don't. I have stated a lot of opinions that are not accepted. I stopped arguing. That doesn't mean that I agree. It means that I see who has the power and who doesn't. It is not a matter of voting.
