Have you tried hiring developers to do the work that you want?
I just cannot understand the entitlement of demanding some open source developer must do particular unpaid work that users are demanding.
We've thought about it before, might just do it, but can't pay much.
Sure, however, this apart from paying them goes against the original post then, doesn't it?
Either we can be paying customers of a corporation and hopefully get what we want by leveraging social pressure or we have to put up with whatever open source devs decide, they might not even accept payment.
A pretty dire situation to be in.
