But we should be allowed to duplicate the features of commercial
packages.  The tricky part is knowing which is which.  The really
tricky part is knowing when to break that rule, too.

In this case, though, the problem wasn't "copying a misfeature", I
think it's that what is a feature for one package may be a misfeature
in another, because the paradigms are different.

Let's also be careful about bad-mouthing other packages, please.
