I think an alternative explanaation is that people have looked at them and 
been left sufficiently worried by the experience as to wonder whether "magic 
symlinks" are really a good idea.  I think we should take it off the list 
before we get yet another set of patches that won't be accepted for the same 
reason.

I have mixed feelings about "zombie" entries since we've reached the point 
where most entries would be zombie entries.  How about we have a separate page 
on projects that are currently in progress?  People go to the ideas page, one 
presumes, to find things to work on, so we should only list things that are 
new ideas to be worked on.
