I would propose to have a "virtual" launchpad project
"ubuntu-application-lifecycle" that users can file bugs against.
With that, we get tagging (like phone/desktop relevant) and a priority
for free. On top, it is easy to tackle those "bugs" or use-cases
as part of our usual ota/development cadence.

To state this clearly: I do care about those use-cases, too. However,
as saviq points out correctly: The discussion has to evolve from a
pure
"Does not work for me, change it" to a more in-depth conversation that
allows us to tackle the actual problems instead of blindly giving up
our principles and guidelines.
