I say that many people have been shouting on deaf ears about this topic
for a long time and that I back an idea to change our incredibility
inefficient policies on todo items.
We are like the last bastion of anarchy, refusing to except that we are
in fact a recognized and important open source project that has
responsibilities to its community.
Those responsibilities include better communication, feature tracking
and milestones...
but alas... again the walls of the canyon echo until there was nothing
but the sound of water and crickets.
Sincerely,
