Well, I use junkbuster, and over the KDE 2.0->3.0 march, KDE has replaced 
nearly every feature of it for me.  All that's left is the blocking.

The argument I ran into when I suggested it, though, was that Konqueror 
may get a reputation of its users being "freeloaders," and that sites may 
try to block users of Konqueror.

Of course, that argument presupposes that users want the feature, 
therefore I want to make the feature at least available as a patch, so 
users and packagers can choose whether they want it or not.

Don't think of a bug as a problem.  Think of it as a call to action.
