I'm sorry for being obscure. :]
Your proposed feature is fine, IMO, and what I wrote is only very
tangentially related.
I meant to compare the release schedules of Microsoft and Apple and
user acceptance in the face of disruptive user interface design. Our
release schedule is somewhat Microsoft-ish, as in few and far between,
which doesn't help users accept change.
I'm of the opinion that Haiku needs a redesign, even though I'm not clear
on what should change. (Could be just me, and everyone else is happy.)
A redesign would strain user (and dev) acceptance. One would need
a roadmap, and avoid adding UI features that don't fit the end goal.
That's the train of thought I had, anyway.
