The way the project has been recently run, it is not practicable to get 
anything done in under 12 months. 
If my current version is 5.6, and I want an API change, it can't go in 5.7 
because it's already in a feature freeze, so there's 6 months. If I can get it 
scheduled for 5.8, then that's not going to land for a year from 5.6. 5.7 was 
exactly 6 months from FF to release, 5.8 was just over 6 months. Since no one 
picked this for 5.8, I'm left still begging for it for 5.9 just before the 
feature freeze.

The support contract is very good for bugs,  but for anything else, it's just 
throwing it over a wall and hoping a developer picks it up, leading me to be 
vocal on the mailing lists.
