Don't worry. We're not considering killing the ability to crop, nor the abi=
lity to preview a specified region.

I'm asking this question to inform how we prioritize some improvements and =
bug fixes.

BTW, I'm considering deferring a couple of bugs because I have _never_ seen=
 a public report of them, even though I can reproduce them easily. It's thi=
s kind of decision that requires that we get good bug reports from y'all wh=
enever you encounter a problem:
