Please separate your first point (basically: "this bug should be fixed")
from your second (which sounds like: "my pet bug is a the most important
thing in the world and nobody and noting else matters and I'm the most
important class of user so everyone cater to me"). Of course, I'm
exaggerating unfairly with my paraphrasing, but that's how it comes across.

And the second part, because of human nature and all, actually detracts from
practically getting something done about the first.

Of course, since there *won't be* any boxed versions, maybe it's all moot.
