What's the alternative? There are *always* going to be many more ideas than implementers. Ideas are cheap. Wikimedia has to decide which features are the most critical to invest developer time in. Their decision is not going to make everyone happy. The only guarantee you can ever have is if you do it yourself. Happily, MediaWiki is open-source, so you *do* have that option! On practically any other major website, you couldn't add a feature no matter how much you wanted to.
The current status of Wikimedia code deployment makes this no longer applicable to Wikimedia either.
