| Dec 27, 2015 at 15:31 | comment | added | Drew | @ShadowWizard: OK. Then in that case it would be great to at least get some confirmation that this is desirable and on the wishlist, rather than what the product currently communicates to users: impossible because verboten. IOW, the dev team could weigh in on threads such as this one to say that they agree but it is not the top priority etc. The fact that they haven't done so does not suggest to me that they do agree. But I've seen no rationale for the prohibition... | |
| Dec 27, 2015 at 15:23 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | It's not about easy or not easy, even the most trivial change needs few hours work to test, deploy, sanity check etc. The team does sometimes fix trivial bugs, but it's quite rare. | |
| Dec 27, 2015 at 15:19 | comment | added | Drew | @ShadowWizard: If you are right then I suppose that's good news. I wonder, however, how hard this would be to implement. Seems like it would just be a matter of removing/inhibiting the code that expressly prohibits it now. Do you really think this would be a significant detour from "the more important things" (like designing hats and such)? | |
| Dec 27, 2015 at 7:51 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | I don't think there is a good reason why this is not possible or should not be made possible - after all, this is not declined. More likely it's one of the thousands of "nice to have" feature requests, and there will always be more important things for the team to do. | |
