Maybe it is a trial balloon also.  They float out the idea anonymously, see how
many people scream and how loud they scream, and then use that as input to
decide whether or not to go ahead.

Despite the fact that ChessBase is clearly the evil empire, seething in a sea of
toxic, vile venom -- I will be just like the next addict in line if they should
add the features I want like EPD analysis (BOTH directions in and out), reliable
Winboard support, online playing at as many servers as possible, etc.

ChessBase has a strange record of not listening to end users.  All the other
chess companies seem to be far less inertial to changes.
