It's a matter of tense. I think we're all agreeing in this sub-thread. I am focusing (perhaps too much) on the tense issues. Without tense, "no password reset mechanism", to continue using the same example, represents a problem state. If something is a problem, it exists in the present. If something will be a problem, with any contingency or timeline, then by definition it is not yet a problem. Even in your own phrasing, the tense issue becomes clear: > Yes, he doesn't have the problem now, because he's got no users, so indeed, having to reset the passwords of existing users would be a "nice to have" problem. Specifically "... would be a "nice to have" problem." This indicates that it is not a problem, rather that it can become a problem.
