I am +0 on this.  I would think that even more pie-in-the-sky ideas would
come out if we had a list specifically garnered towards long-term ideas
(unless, of course, we regulate subscriptions).

And then my personal question becomes whether I will need to summarize two
lists instead of one (I am guessing no; the one dealing with the blue-sky
issues will need it more than the other one).
