The problem with impolite suggestions worded as an order and/or whining
about missing features is that they tend to be ignored.

He has probably more than most from the old-school business world - long
living free/open-source software didn't (and doesn't IMHO) come into
existence just because someone "suggested" somewhere something (in

It came into existence (and is developed further) by being programmed -
either from scratch or as patch to existing source.
Of course if you pay someone to do this, then there are other rules too.
