(1) is a bit more subtle than that.  Even when I do not foresee using a
proposed feature myself, if I can imagine somebody else would benefit, and
more importantly if I can see a healthy rationale behind the change so
that I can convince myself to be an advocate of that change to the end
users, such a change will fall into category (1).  That is why I often ask
people to justify their changes better than they originally do.

Isn't the patch in question on 'pu' to be tried by interested parties
already?
