Comment 271 for bug 1575053

The way we select priorities for the project every single cycle for years is having several stakeholders (that's more than a dozen people, covering community, customers, development groups, etc) with several different perspectives in a room after having followed a process of funneling requirements from these same groups over several weeks. We then have a long discussion to agree on what are the most important priorities for the project for the coming cycle, and then a fantastic development team works on these features for the next several months, often doing minor adjustments to the roadmap as the cycle progresses and we have new factors coming in.

I realize that sitting here in a bug for 4 years waiting for your pet peeve to be fixed may be unsettling and frustrating, but hopefully the interactions from the team in the history above are good data to show that we've been around all along and did intend to improve things eventually. Not in your preferred timeline, unfortunately, but we have many more issues and voices to pay attention to.

That's why you see https://snapcraft.io/store and the snap project and community being what they are today. Because we do care, and we do follow a process that is not just hand-picking issues arbitrarily.

I'm sorry that you prefer to remove the application and vote yourself out of this community, but this is a freedom we also appreciate around here. We're glad you can make yourself comfortable with other tools. We'll stay here, improving things meanwhile.
