Its typical that everyone is defending the status quo. I doubt the reason it doesn't have that feature is because they are against it. I think it's just one of those things that adds a significant amount of complexity without a ton of benefit for most people. But I also think if they had several developers working on the site, they would have done it.
You can just scan down recent threads to see if there are replies.
But it's objectively a missing feature that could be somewhat useful.
- 1123581321 5y agoI could be misremembering but think dang really is against it. He’s a philosophical guy about community management.
