No I'm not missing that at all. The existing buttons, including Replace,
would all stay there. But in the default case the choice for the system
to choose between is "did the person just spend time creating a filter
component and would now like to throw it away even though s/he didn't
press Cancel?" or "did the person who just spent time creating a filter
component want me to use it?"

I say it is better to choose the latter and let the person go back and
delete it if that's what he really meant when he didn't press Cancel,
rather than the current brain-dead, IMHO, first choice.
