Please do not twist my words. I said technical considerations are relevant, not that customer needs do not come first. If something is incredibly difficult to do, that is factored in to prioritisation, alongside the size of the audience and expected impact. That is very basic product management.
Sadly, as is typical with this mailing list, we've now delved into a world of hypotheticals, idealisms, and misrepresentations. It would not be a productive use of time (and, indeed, donor money) for me to participate further in this thread.
That is unfortunate. I had been hoping to hear an answer to the very concrete question of why this issue is being raised with the community only after so much work has been done, rather than before. I would have thought that very basic product management would have involved engaging with the user community at the planning stage, and determining the customer needs of which you write. Indeed, I raised that point here ten days ago. But it seems that it will have to go unanswered.
