Every growing project has things thing the maintainers would like to work but that do not currently. The job of the maintainer is to balance the value of releasing a cut of the software as stands and learning about other unknown issues while continuing to work on the known, or to work on the known and ignore the unknown until finished with the known. Neither way is strictly good or bad.
