Perhaps we need some better mechanism to get feedback from the downstream users which were main requesters of the $feature (I think that in both cases people can see how it could be useful generically but there's not too much immediate enthusiasm for playing with it inside the community). I think the main user of multifetch was xorg while the primary user of shallow clones would be Mozilla, right? It would be great if, when wishing for some large feature, they could say something like "if this ever gets done, please prod $mailinglist and we'll give it a stab and get you some feedback" (apparently there's noone from there monitoring the mailing list consistently, which is understandable though since it's not a too much low-traffic one).
