If adding 'anything' will eat/need 'more' RAM then I'd vote against it 
unless it is very very needed and a must-have.

@Nio and all
Can you please hit reply to all next time so everyone is informed? 
unless there is some kind of private chat, that's different story.

And, I think we should seriously have two different mailing list.
One for Development and one is general.

@Israel
Could you please give me owner access to:
https://launchpad.net/~torios-dev

So I could create a new mailing list?
Or, you could do that yourself, it is your call :)
I'm more than glad to do it and save your time!

Thanks!
