You're walking a thin line here, Wolph, be careful. And please, don't write posts of biblical proportions here, I've got better use for my time.
As for the GE, it's the same for a long time. Yes, there are things we want to improve (and fix), but we had no ability to test changes on GE properly so far. I believe this will change in near future (fingers crossed) so we can finally do some improvements in GE.
