You still don't get it, do you? Myth is developed by the developers
for the developers(*). There is no master plan -- Myth goes in
whatever direction we feel like going when we feel like going. IOW,
if no developer is personally motivated enough to add a particular
feature, it won't get added no matter how many users want it.
(*)I don't really like to use this phrasing because I feel it connotes
too strong of a selfish attitude. Personally, I'm happy that others
can use the fruits of our labor. Furthermore, I will do what I can to
support the features I have added, the components I have adopted and
not leave users in the lurch. However, I do this in my spare time to
satisfy my own needs so I don't feel obligated to do any more than
that.

Then grow a thicker skin and don't take it personally. Hell, Isaac
royally pissed me off with his terse responses the first time I asked
questions and submitted patches. I got over it and persevered because
I really wanted to contribute and make Myth better.
