Because Peter thought everyone would be happy being able to drop
columns.

Of course, more discussion should have happened.  I have found out the
hard way about some of this in keeping up the RPM's.  However, I have
found most of the RPM issues settle out from end users -- not from the
development team.  Thus, I am in an 'in between' position -- which is an
ideal place for a packager, anyway.
