Hmm. Most of the times I use SHOULD I'd expect them to stay SHOULD.
SHOULD doesn't mean "this feature is desired," it means "do this unless
you have justification for doing something else." There are a few cases
(new algorithms) where you mean SHOULD+ (we'll move to MUST in the
future) but often you mean do this unless you're in a constrained
environment, or you know you won't need it or something like that. In
those cases, SHOULDS tend to stay SHOULDS.
