Don't worry. We're not considering killing the ability to crop, nor the ability 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 this kind of decision that requires that we get good bug reports from y'all whenever you encounter a problem:
