You act like we're obligated to implement the requested features.

Remember you can add them yourself and submit a patch. If the code quality is good enough it might get included. This does NOT mean that we are obligated to include patches, either. It just means that if you want something to happen, you can't really complain unless you make an effort to help make it happen.
EDIT: I realized that I might seem angry in this post. Sorry if that's the case, I didn't mean to sound hostile. But yeah, as they always say, "Patches welcome!"
