TOO polite? Hell no.

I'd be extremely content if airlines did away with carry-ons.

I'd be content if they just enforce the size limits.
I'm not sure why the FAA hasn't cracked down on this, as there are regulations and policies about carry-ons. Oh wait... I know, it's because of money. The Airlines have it, and they have the lobbying power to keep the FAA off their ass most of the time.
And the Airlines encourage the abuse of the carry-on policies by charging for a checked bag. People in the cheap seats are not going to pay $25 to $75 to check a bag when they know the stewardesses will let them bring their bag into the cabin and jam it in the bin. And they sure don't care about other flyers who also have carry-on bags. No, this is America and the "I'm more important than you" mentality is prevalent even in steerage class passengers.
