But if we don't let IBM know we want improvements, then how will they know?


You're right as rain, as always, Buck. But if we keep them busy swatting
down suggestions that we have good reason to believe will never be accepted
("Why *can't* I have a pony for Christmas?"), when are they going to have
time to do the stuff that will really carry IBM i forward, e.g., porting to
AIX, er, PASE, more open source packages (difficult) and updating the ones
that already exist?

Youth is the future. There are probably 1,000 or maybe 10,000 Python
programmers under the age of 40 for every Rexx programmer in the same
demographic.
