Please avoid as much as possible from "not feasible" answers but rather direct the proposals to smaller and feasible solutions if they are too broad. Usually such proposals have higher impact and importance compared to smaller tasks.
Good example of such answer by Danny H in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2019/Miscellaneous...
Some ideas that may be hard to fully achieve and community tech may need to help with properly scoping:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2019/Wikidata/Edit... 2. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2019/Archive/Centr... 3. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2019/Reading/Impro... All of the 3 examples are very good ideas IMO. They may not be fully feasible, but I'm sure they are all partially feasible if properly scoped.

Hey everyone,
The Community Wishlist Survey is now open, and you can post proposals for projects that you would like the Wikimedia Foundation's Community Tech team to work on:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2019
The Community Tech team builds features and makes changes that active Wikimedia contributors want, and the Wishlist Survey sets the team's agenda for the next year.
The Wishlist Survey starts with a two-week proposal period, when contributors from all Wikimedia projects are invited to post, discuss and improve proposals. After that, there's a two-week voting period, when everyone can post support-votes on the proposals.
You can post technical proposals until 11 November.
You can vote on proposals from 16 November to 30 November.
The Community Tech team is responsible for addressing the top ten wishes on the list. If they, after investigating it, find that something isn't feasible, they need to explain why to the community. The Wishlist can also be used by volunteer developers and other teams, who want to find projects to work on that the community really wants.
