Make it easier to create a "mock pause" perhaps?  Then at least someone 
could demo their suggested feature and maybe it would be easier to 
drop-in to the official system once it has been proven (e.g. one could 
run a mirror as a demo of "what upstream would do" to test their idea 
over the course of a month or whatever.)  My bikeshed is on wheels.

The only thing that could save UNIX at this late date would be a new $30
shareware version that runs on an unexpanded Commodore 64.
