I've had an issue recently with a sticking rear derailler pivot and I wonder if it would be possible (or event sensible?) to add a grease port to the derailler body to allow it to be flushed out with clean grease?
Suntour did it with some of their stuff and Speedplay do it with their pedals.

What do the engineer types (I'm looking at you, tester) think about this? I know, I know, if there was any point, Shimano would've done it already but even their testing isn't as evil as mine.
