Speaking as the owner of this list, I encourage everyone to submit an RFE 
through PowerLink (there's a menu item for that purpose), then when you get the 
RFE number, post it here so others who have the same need can post on 
PowerLink's RFE feature and reference that same RFE number. 

By the way, people at EMC do see these postings, but the formal way to ring 
EMC's bell to notify them of a need for a fix or a new feature is via PowerLink.
