Nobody is gatekeeping. One of us is asserting that there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

The features being requested do not come for free. Someone has to sink the time into doing the work.

So, in an argument between people doing the work and people insisting someone else do the work for them, but it must be to the specifications of the armchair quarterbacks… well… I’ve got bad news about the things the non-paying non-coders want.

You can either pay money or pay time, but nobody cares about the freeloaders demanding things without offering any kind of compensation.

ROFL. Kiddo, I’ve been contributing to OSS for over two decades. The day I start caring about what non-contributors think is the day I stop writing code. Either show up with patches or STFU.

Oh look. Yet another post demanding things from a volunteer-based community without actually volunteering their own time to work on solving the problem they’re insisting needs solving.

I’m sure these demands will totally make a difference in ways that putting their time into actually writing code wouldn’t.
