There is a degree to what you say, however, I think you're not seeing the big 
picture here Mattias. There are a LOT of other features/bugs that honestly 
should get more attention, like for instance the loss of email under kmail 
that George recently posted about on core-devel. The suggestion that Eugenia 
spoke of is impossible for the size of infrastructure needed to allow us to 
implement it without basically ignoring the input from it. Additionally, to 
paraphrase Anne-Marie, there are developers that are in this for money, and 
then there are those of us that are developers for the love of it. This means 
while bounties may influence us, that doesn't mean that it rules us. Now 
please, let us get back to developing the best damn *NIX desktop out there.
