It is on the JOSM list because I wanted to hear JOSM developers' 
opinions about this.

And whether or not JOSM is an entry level editor (it is certainly used 
often for introducing new people to OSM, see e.g. learnosm.org) should 
not have an effect on it attempting to provide a satisfying user 
experience.

Sure, even nicer to get encouraging emails from others in the project 
but how likely is that?

Bye
Frederik
