I don't think they're never used, but I agree that many people grab them
without thinking. I won't go thinking about this - I have far little

I'll keep your mail in mind, PR's going to get (more) active the next few

Thanks! Case badges and stickers are indeed a much-requested item that don't
cust too much (iirc).
