@compleat It’s good that you proposed code,  
and I would also have long running cells to “grey out” sometimes.  
But it might be wise to tone down (like you did here) in other more recent threads as well:

> People have been trying to negotiate with the lead developer of Pluto for nearly a year now on this point, and he keeps talking about how difficult it would be … the truth is that it is not difficult at all… he just doesn’t want this kind of feature (hates the idea… he told me so himself before cutting communication).

Developers often say no either for good reasons, or because it’s not the right time for them.

Let me share a story of a few people who wanted to steer the wheel,  
and only managed to disgust the maintainer (hundreds of hours per year of quality work…)  
([remove ederag from maintainers by ederag · Pull Request #575 · projecthamster/hamster · GitHub](https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster/pull/575)).

Their main concerns would have been solved by now (safe estimate),  
had they been smarter.  
(Or if someone else had sent early enough this kind of warning).

Hence I sympathize with the Pluto developers who are doing an amazing work (please go on !),  
and thus should be spared disrespectful comments, unnecessary repeated criticisms  
as well as empty criticisms.
