If you check back, though, the request for this feature waaaaay predates
6-8 months.

Okay, sounds good.

If I seem a bit cynical, I am. It's disturbing to see new service after
new service and little progress on what we're actually interested in. I
don't speak for everyone, obviously. What's important here may be just as
unimportant to others. Anyway, good to know the dev teams are dedicated to
each sector. Maybe they just need more coffee and Mountain Dew. Is there
a fund setup somewhere?
