I don't know about what the community might say, but I would say that I
find it baffling that someone would rather choose a public forum to
announce their desires rather than go into redhat's bugzilla or Oo's bug
reporting tool and make an entry.

It's not a bug if it's not in bugzilla...it's only someone pissing in
the wind.
