Ok so we have 1 yay and 1 nay - any other comments?

I would like to propose that we standardize some kind of voting system for
"thumbs up/thumbs down" type of feature additions like this. What always
seems to happen without this type of system is someone posts a suggestion, a
couple of people make small comments, and then it dies. There is no reason
small things like this should take more than a day or two to "accept",
"accept with major revisions", or "reject" - but they seem to take months.

I have created a vote for the new FindPointsWithinRadius function here:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GNFMZ8K

The problem may remain that very few people vote (the same as very few
people reply on the mailing list). There needs to be a system where if no
one votes then the default action is to move forward. I support adding
things unless someone is opposed (with a good reason) versus NOT adding
things unless lots of people are actively supportive.
