Our time isn't for free, and open-source software != free (libre) software. If
your priorities don't match ours, then your stuff doesn't get done in the
timeframe that you'd like it done in. End of discussion.
Unless people are willing to contribute either through code or monetary
resources, your proposed features aren't guaranteed to be worked on, no matter
how much people whine and complain for them.
Seriously, I'm tired of hearing that we don't do tables yet. Either help us in
some way or be patient. It will happen.
