Christian,

Feel free to make noise wherever you wish but the reality is that when
Microsoft has a the choice to make between developers spending time on
the Shell and addressing bugs with its own tools (SkyDrive, ReFS, etc)
or those of third party products, Microsoft is going to focus on its own
stuff unless an entity (or an effected community) is paying them
sufficient money to make it worthwhile.  In the end it requires multiple
paid support contract reports to raise the profile of the bug enough
that it will be fixed.
