If the people involved are on the net, could they possibly setup a suggestion
postbox somewhere, perhaps with a periodic journal of responses, so that we,
the users / gurus / whatever can have some input, drop a few suggestions, etc.
Everyone must have some things about Unix they would like to see fixed or
changed. Admittedly, it will probably generate a lot of mail, but we are the
people who make it all happen, who sell, install, praise, program in, hack, 
whatever.
