First of all, the red-alert bug will be fixed in 3.6.10, so that's a non-issue as far as this topic is concerned.
Second of all, I'm really fed up with these threads that seem to pop up every few months or so. We get two or three members lobbying heavily for a feature that 1) is unnecessary for the vast majority of situations; 2) can be reasonably approximated already with existing features; and 3) is practically guaranteed to never be used by the person who requested it.
On one side, we have established projects who request challenging features that will add a cool new gameplay aspect and that will be prominently featured in an upcoming release. On the other side, we have these drive-by trolls who occasionally unite to make coders' lives hell because the SCP doesn't have a certain obscure feature. It royally ticks me off.
