Get off your high horse and stop over exaggerating things. If it's
really the absense of this singular feature, then perhaps it's
important enough for you to look into contributing to open source -
you have everythere ready for you to help out.

Stop trying to apply business logic to open source - you're not paying
for open source and there's no contractual obligation for anyone to
meet your demands. ;-)
