[Bf-committers] Regarding sticky coordinates removal from blender

[Michael Fox]

My vote is for putting them back, since its clear they are being used, 
so as long as BI is still being used sticky should remain, just not on 
bugs associated with it that the feature is no longer developed and will 
not be fixed. Not to mention its very late in the cycle to be doing this
