If a feature gets added to some public "to-do" list, it will indicate to people that Khaled considers it significant and plans to implement it in future. Users won't have to waste their time scripting it, posting into "Feature Suggestions" or using the "Search" feature. Saving customers' time is a normal sign of respect; have I said anything new?
being on todolist doesn't say *when* it will be added. it can be in next version or in 5 versions. so if you need *really* need a feature, script it
