Your response is technical and seriously, query is a tool and it should function for people. When the tool is not good enough fix it.
What I hear: "A hammer is a tool, it should work for people. Tearing down a building with it takes forever, so fix the hammer!"
The query service was never intended to run arbitrarily large or complex queries. Sure, would be nice, but that also means committing an arbitrary amount of resources to a single request. We don't have arbitrary amounts of resources.
We basically have two choices: either we offer a limited interface that only allows for a narrow range of queries to be run at all. Or we offer a very general interface that can run arbitrary queries, but we impose limits on time and memory consumption. I would actually prefer the first option, because it's more predictable, and doesn't get people's hopes up too far. What do you think?
Oh, and +1 for making it easy to use WDT on labs.
