I agree a lot here. I think, the automagic in 0.42 is the first time,
that something like that reached a wider audience. Desire Data was more
something cool to look at, but I doubt that many people managed to
actually install and use it a lot. Of course I wrote my comments not to
get rid of the feature altogether, but to help improving it and pointing
out some problems, that only came to my mind after acutally using it.
And it's great that you, Chun and the others are working on that part. 

Ciao
