I hope the principle that Crossrail should be all-stations has been

Then you'll be disappointed. The planned Crossrail timetable involves
some trains non-stopping certain stations west of Paddington in order to
leave paths for some west-of-Maidenhead FGW trains on the relief lines...

Glad to hear this - the suggestion of every train stopping at every
station to Maidenhead seemed utter madness to me too.

I can't see why.

Most people would say that the fixed interval, all stations service, is what
makes the German S-Bahns so sucessful. London to Maidenhead is a very
similar distance to Munich to Freising (or some other end of line station).
