I've actually used this as a note to myself to adopt a feature request in Core 
while Core is frozen.  It's a note to myself "hey, you adopted this feature 
but got it out of the way for the other queues, come back to it later".  I 
think I do over 75% of the time, too... ;-)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
