I smell a Stones parody in there somewhere...

Well, I have little Sympathy for the Devil who insists on shortening the rope too much. Don't they realize that You Can't Always Get What You Want? It's bad enough that I Can't Get No Satisfaction with all these extra X server options, and no one else wants to come to my Emotional Rescue when my X session is Shattered. My computer is a Beast of Burden; I cannot just Let It Bleed.

All I ask is that the developers Gimme Shelter from too short a rope. As for the bike shed (discussed by Thue below), why not just Paint It, Black?
