Bulk/Roll Upload

One the newish Full Roll Upload page, there is a required input for "Subject for the roll", where it says that most rolls are mostly one thing. I definitely can't speak for anyone but myself, but in the way that I shoot (I'm a daily carrier of my camera) that isn't the case at all. I am inclined to shap a shot - any shot - that catches my eye at any given moment. It's a constant mix of completely planned and also totally impromptu shots from frame to frame.

I mention my shooting experience here to illustrate that selecting a "Roll subject" would 99% of the time be impossible for me. If that field is required (which it is), then "Other" is really my only answer, and that seems equally inaccurate to my mind.

Is it really necessary for that field to be required? Can't that just remain NULL, or something? It might be a helpful field for others (I'll let them speak for themselves), but for me it will nearly always be completely irrelevant to my roll.
