LOL... I'll work on that.

Wow, I said years ago that this should not be part of the basic ruleset, as it's basically the same as:
create duplicate layer
convert to b&w
invert
overlay mode
gaussian blur
adjust opacity
If you allow shadow/highlights, then you need to allow duplicate layers with overlay mode.
Nice to see that eventually DPC mods get with it... even if it takes several years.

I'm new around here, and don't want to start out by picking at the moderators - but tool cost is just a silly reason to limit editing. There's many, many free tools (particularly the GIMP and Paint.NET) that let you do a lot of things that are outside the basic ruleset.
Personally, I think it makes more sense to have an allowable set of edits, rather than saying 'what you can do in tool X'. I'd be happy for basic editing to be based around what you can do in most RAW converters (exposure, fill light, saturation, NR, contrast, WB) plus cropping.
