Yes you're right, discussion is needed. And i think in last instance 
it's the devs choice to implement a feature/whatsoever or not. I 
personally see more pro-s than con-s for a mu-system.
 You don't have to give an account to anybody, right? And what's the 
difference between receiving an e-mail/ICQ-message/... and adding a file 
to your list, or let your buddy do this on his own? If it's something 
you don't like, well you're the admin, you can remove this file if you 
think, it might harm you.

Yes, it might not be so easy to implement, but it's worth the 
discussion, as the beginnings are already in the code.

Maybe mu-system/nice interface isn't so important for the client to 
work, but every contribution / feature request is important. Because if 
you punish people for sharing their ideas, you might miss _the_ idea for 
important parts (source-management etc.), because the person having this 
idea is feared of getting flamed at. And i consider the new_html_gui the 
 one of best thing happened (feel free to flame me)
