So what does this mean for a user requesting a feature or enhancement in Jira? User $foo may want CloudStack to provision coffee via IPMI, but they may also not have the ability to write that feature, but want to ask for it. Do they also need to bring it to the list? It seems very developer-centric, which isn't necessarily bad, but don't want to make users feel like their is a huge barrier to contributing to a feature discussion. --David
