“I believe the reason these pull requests have not been merged is because there has not been enough feedback from the community”
Not really. While feedback is great, we’re currently working through other priority tickets, and just haven’t gotten to these just yet, and likely yes, we’re going to have our own opinions and need to make sure things are correct regardless of what everyone’s collective thoughts are. Even large numbers of people saying “I think it should do X or Y” requires us to sit down and ferret out which ones of these approaches is the one we want to take.
Please also consider you opened up an email thread right before Christmas and are asking why hasn’t it been merged on January 5th. Seems a bit off, no?
