Understood Eric, Looking at those other features, I would hope that complexity would be taken into account as well. The functionality that we are asking for is very simple to implement on your end while those other ones you mentioned seem much more complex. With our task being easily done, I just hope it doesn't get bogged down due to the more complex tasks you guys have on your plate!
