But this has been the other way around -- delaying a
feature without a specific timescale for one that does
have a time element -- and in this case the feature that
is time relevent is the one about the protest that is
happening right now not the one about a delay in a GM
trial that nobody noticed was delayed at the time when it
was delayed...

Because it's about a protest that happened last weekend
and about two that are happening right now.

It appears to me that this is exactly what you were
complaining about when you said "The manchester march
didn't exactly get many reports the wire... Hardly
quality indymedia reporting."

I posted the feature 10 mins before the deadline and then
went out to get some lunch so I didn't see your
alternative feature proposal, this was discused in IRC,
you were in admin at the time I posted it.
