Yes, good idea.  If this is 2.2.0pre4, we don't have to add every new features
asked for :)
But the real bugs should be killed before the real 2.2.0.

I suggest you add new feature requests for those things, I would like to do
some and it's easier to see what's assigned or not.

For this one, we discussed this on the devel list.  Users of IE already can
modify
$cfgMaxInputsize, but this relies on things that are broken in Netscape 4.  So
I suggested
adding some variables...

There is a feature request about this, with some suggestions....
