Like Mal is saying this is the problem. 

Someone from the devs wrote me at the beginning of this thread saying 
that it was a matter of resources and people. He also wrote that the devs 
was not commenting on this thread because, like most times, they recieve 
a lot of good ideas, and people talk, but nobody ever does any work, 
he said that people should stop talking and then just get the work done.

Someone has now done the work and more are willing to contribute.
