God bless the queen ;-)

It's not yours.

AFAIK there is no general Feature-Stop.

I'm sure there're also other Features missing some ROI. It's a personal 
point of view.

Manual is the wrong word then and should be renamed in "Documentation" 
but that's not to important, you can do it tomorrow ;-)
Serious: Sure, it's a possibility but that's no reason against the other 
solution.

In other words: "I want you not to want to do the work!" - thanks ;-)

Enjoy your meal, keep care never getting to fat ;-)
