Fixed joints would be really nice for my breakable joints contribution. You 
could for instance create a building made of bodies and geoms attached with 
fixed geoms and then destroy it by driving a car into it or something like 
that. But I agree that in most other cases fixed geoms are not absolutely 
necessary.
