  I agree. DEP's should not be required, but are a tool which can,  
and should be used for larger tasks.

I would also like to see DEPs used to pool our ideas together, so  
that you can develop and spec enhancements that you might not  
personally have a chance
to develop fully, but which other people might be interested in  
working on.

Writing a DEP is at least providing a solid starting point for  
someone else to expand on and develop from. Also, all DEPs won't be  
developed, but something
that has a DEP has a higher chance of being developed than something  
which doesn't have it.
