Wow! What a concept! Let the buyers of the software (the users) actually DECIDE what bugs need to be worked on, and what is a lower priority, to be left for later. This, of course, would just about end the addition of what we seem to think are useless marketing bells and whistles, in favor of changes that would make our daily work easier! If you can get them to agree to this, we'll have to send you to the middle east as our new negotiator!
