Denis-de-Bernardy: I’ll add a vote to getting the bug list squashed into oblivion.
Agree with Denis. Get the house in order by squishing the existing bugs. Sure, as a developer, it’s great to be working on sexy new features.
I had a look though Trac today, and there plenty of bugs with fixes, but they’re been punted to 3.0.
And what about this (re-occuring) issue with wpautop:
Please close as wontfix. Fixing things will break other things and vice-versa. I do not know a single serious developer that wants to touch this.
