But it's not "wont fix", because it will get fixed when there's nothing of a higher priority. And it's priority could change at some point. > Better to have a policy of always fixing bugs but be more flexible on

Bugs have priorities associated with them, too. It's reasonable for a new feature to be more important than fixing a lower priority bug. For example, if reading the second "page" of results for an API isn't working corre

That's an argument to do better, not to avoid doing at all.

I did some digging and, like you note, was unable to find any official documentation for it. Given the number of sites that indicate it is illegal in Kansas (when listing state by state), I took in on faith that it wasn't a mass halluc

A better example might be mattresses. There are states (Kansas) where it is illegal to sell a used mattress, under any circumstances. Even if, for your specific circumstances, the "it's unsanitary" reasoning isn't valid.

First come first serve, or a lottery, or any number of other algorithms. The point being "the people with the most money" isn't the algorithm that everyone wants.

This assumes the only dynamics are "the seller wants to make as much as possible" and "the buyer wants to spend as little as possible". There are plenty of cases where the seller (artist, venue, etc) want to keep prices

I disagree that they extra ticket price will now go to the artist/venue; because they always had the option to raise their ticket prices. However, wanting to keep ticket prices down for _other_ reasons (selling more merch, good will, e
