Are you suggesting that anyone who does not have the skill to implement
features should not participate at all?
No one has to implement the features that I or anyone else ask for. But we
are not asking for bizarre, useless things. The ideas in this thread have
all been heartfelt, useful indicators of things that actual developers might
consider.
If you don't want to implement the suggestions people make, then don't
implement them. But don't get on people's back for trying to make the
software better in whatever way they know how. Sheesh.
A nice way to look at it is that suggestions are sort of like idea-patches.
People submit their idea-patches to the maintainers, and the maintainers
decide whether to apply them with patch-brain or not.
Bottom line: suggestions can do no harm, and they may help.
