FWIW, I do not think it was so much rejected as that I had initially planned to implement it, then decided against it. Mostly because I wanted to actually get annoyed with each piece of advice before disabling it. Because sometimes the right answer is actually "make the advice better".

But I do not mind somebody adding it if it is a burning desire.
