Isn't development of the core android framework and the Android Market
handled by two different teams? At least that's my assumption based on some
comments I've seen on here from some Google Engineers (like "I'm not on the
market team so I can't answer that").

Assuming that, then: a) development would not cease on the "rest of Android"
to improve the market. b) even if it did, many of the improvements people
are talking about should not take several months of effort. Increasing the
character limit should take all of 5 minutes and throwing together a website
that listed all apps and was searchable shouldn't take a Google engineer
more than a day or two.

Yes, there are priorities and limited resources, but the fact that Google -
which has become synonymous with the internet itself - can't (or won't) add
these extremely basic features is simply embarrassing.
