Okay, if you can show it is better.

You'd have to show how this is better than the current system.

Sure, send it to the sork list and we'll check it out.  If it is better,
then there is no reason not to replace it.

Already provided for in the current (CVS HEAD) version.  I think this
support is even in the latest release version.

There has been much talk about this, but no real work.  The changes
are really very trivial (which makes me wonder why I never did it
before).

This is a reduction in both functionality and security.  This would 
definately not get put into sork, and I would be against it going into
horde, unless at best it was a configurable setting.
 
You may find this convenient, but it is a big reduction in functionality
over the current CVS HEAD and a security concern also.
