To not implement the linear fits, or any other polinomial fits in that 
matter, would be such a shame. If it had been proven to be possible to 
implement, why not? Sure, everything takes time. 
But so far, I have not seen a good spreadsheet with a user friendly plotting 
tools in linux. Sure there are some plotting tools available as stand alone, 
but to have it combine with a spreadsheet will be much greater advantage.

And please don't tell me to use staroffice. I choose gnumeric as spreadsheet 
anyday than staroffice. I think gnumeric is the best spreadsheet now. What it 
needs is the best plotting capabilities. 

Just my 2 cents.
