Comment 59 for bug 270976

poikiloid: I suspect it will be fixed when someone with the knowledge, access rights, and time gets personally affected by it and then they will fix it, as with all other things in the open source, free software, gpl, etc. environment. In the meantime, your implied sense of entitlement and virtual screaming is just spamming all us subscribers that have better things to do than to read your complaint.

Since you're passionate about it being fixed, perhaps you could actually help by hiring someone to fix it or offer a bounty or switch to k3b for your project for a while.
