Note from moderator: This conversation is now locked because it became too heated. If your comment fell victim as collateral damage, don't fret – this is a very sensitive subject where people have lots of opinions and entitlement and want things happening now or else, and as such it has sparked a lot of interest and comments, drowning out my actual status updates. Now it should be easier to find those. See this comment from Hampus for what's to come!

What needs fixing?
