Yeah, seems that I was not clear at all.:-\

>From my perspective, zoom functionality doesn't seem to be widely used
apart from testing high-resolutions. So, it ends up being something
that doesn't seem to be that much used and that is a big source of
bugs and then my suggestion to drop it. Maybe that's not the case.
(Maybe that's the spice case as well).

It doesn't affect our ability to accept Sagar's work at all. But
taking advantage of Sagar's work, would be a good time for
dropping/adding stuff in the UI and that's the reason of my suggestion
