the key word being 'why' - reason for not implementing something,
since we are devels, the reason usually is technical. I know, I need
to be less zen and more verbose sometimes :)

Heh, no :) I meant only for the issues that were talked about and not
fixed. I didn't mean for you guys to put a lot of stuff in a list
which automatically gets a 'no, won't do' for each of the items.

So, the idea was - if some issue has been raised, and there was a
reason for not fixing it as proposed by UX ppl or users (and usually
explained on ml), that particular issue is added to the list with the
explanation of why it wasn't done that way. (including /planned to be
done later/)

Naturally.

I get your point, have had the chance to be on the other side as well.
The additional problem with design stuff is that there is often no
right way of doing something. Not an exact science. This is why I like
the current Plasma team setup - for most things we discuss the issues
so that we can agree upon something that best fits us all.
