I think I'd rather let users tell us what's most important to them and
then we can figure out what release makes the most sense to implement
them.
I have put a pointer to the moderator page at the top of the feature
request page. If stuff still gets added there it's ok. As long as it's
someplace we won't lose it. :) If moderator works out well, I'll make
sure all the suggestions on the page get moved over.
