There's not much we can do/say about this one since it isn't up to us. 
OL is a project of the Internet Archive and the Archive decides its 
direction. As users of the project we can show how we are using it, and 
that might influence the direction, but the project owners are the 
"deciders." It seems to me to be rather fruitless to have any lengthy 
discussion on this topic.
