We will only get the features we want IF we present a united front and clearly articulate a group consensus over what we want a do not want.

I agree with your original point about presenting a united front, if such a thing can ever be accomplished in as diverse a community as ours. As for what features of VFP6 I want. Who's to say what I will and will not find functional as time goes on. I use functionality today without even thinking about it that I never even considered being available 5 years ago. Point being that if a capability exists, eventually a demand will arise to fill it, and conversely if a need arises, a way will be found.
