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,
