I have to disagree with you here. There is no way I can see the |
60 |
developers responding negatively, though time might be short for new |
61 |
(or "reintroduced") features. I feel it necessary to mention that |
62 |
seventh item again, which they will take very seriously. |

I feel this is also something you should express to the developers, |
70 |
but admittedly I don't know the best place. Perhaps a mailing list. I |
71 |
understand there is a time investment but if you have any to spare it |
72 |
will almost assuredly spark a constructive conversation. |
