My point was that the functionality as it is presented in Karmic
indicates that it makes no sense to make it just like "Copy to" and
"Move to", because there's another parameter besides a target.

I avoided making assumptions on how it is now in Lucid. What it could
become in Maverick is a different topic, again.

I said premature. As in: too early. Because there has been no
discussion, apparently little to no research, no consensus, no
actionable items.

Turning "premature" into "a step backwards" is an unacceptable thing to
do in a discussion.
