I don't remember seeing it opened. So this could be a great practice
for somebody who is good at finding bugs and issues. :-)

I love a good rant. I used to produce those myself. I love even more a
good rant that includes  specific granular improvements others can get
behind. The bug report as suggested above would be a great one example
of such a granular thing.

I would also point out that most of the contributors to Lucene/Solr
open source are able to contribute because somebody _pays_ them to
develop something on top of/with those projects and they hit
limitations they cannot solve in other easier ways. Those _usually_
are the cutting edge features such as CDCR, new performance
improvements, etc. We could always do with _more_ people who will
focus on the more user-oriented features or on making those new
cutting edge features more easily accessible.

Regards,
   Alex.
P.s. And if anybody wants to rant and will be at Lucene/Solr
revolution, I will be more than happy to sit and listen to you during
any of the food breaks. And I'll help figuring out what those granular
improvement suggestions could be. Feel free to reach out directly if
you want to have a rant scheduled too, instead of catching me
organically :-)
