Hello!

We should assume that no partner is going to develop patches and merge 
proposals if not "needed".

Since 6.0 "my" way was to create modules, to

 * achieve the wanted behavior (especially if it was a show stopper for
   one of my instances)
 * make the functionality available to the community in c2c-rd-branch
   in a way which must not be discussed with the editor.
   The new community branches are going this way.

I just want to emphasize that playing the OPW game is difficult if the 
editor is not acknowledging real and ALSO functional bugs and shortcomings.
We should not "allow" the editor to tell us "This is your opinion" and 
mark bugs  as "wish list" and functional shortcomings as "won't fix".

IMO it is necessary to create facts (community branch) to show how 
serious these issues are taken by the community.

One main issue is the fact that functional fields can neither be 
filtered nor sorted - and we have made patch already for 6.0 (but no MP) 
- and this can only be solved as patch.

just my 2c
