Exactly. It needs to not only benefit the user community, it needs to benefit SI the business. For an extra feature that benefits the community to pass muster, it needs to be something that not only can't be gotten for free elsewhere with a mouse-click or two, it needs to be so compelling that it causes subscription increase in excess of the cost of providing it. Few things can meet those criteria. That's why you don't see anything on iHub for which we're having to pay for feeds and the like. The extras there have as their only cost my time and effort to make them happen.
