There are some points in time when our Bugzilla doesn't represent 
reality.  We are closing a plan for 3.3 and 4.0 which can be seen at 
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextools.cgi/~checkout~/hyades-home/docs/unapproveddrafts/project%20info/plans/3+/TPTPFeatures.html
and 51293 is currently committed. Please remember someone who works for 
IBM Rational will probably end up building this, don't be too hard on 
IBM's intentions here.

Generally-speaking once a requirement has been articulated, ownership 
passes to a requirements group which I chair, and the requirement cannot 
be unilaterally withdrawn by its initial proposer - other individuals 
and/or organizations can offer input through bugzilla, or at the group. 
 if you wish to represent directly to the group, please contact me.

I know that not all of this process is completely obvious, in particular 
the above URL, and as part of the transition to TPTP from Hyades we are 
working hard to fix this.
