However there are areas that are much more annoying to design and code that needs to be addressed.
And who should be assigned to "fix" those areas?
I'm presuming that you have other things to do and see your contribution as pointing out the need for work on the [unspecified] design and code areas.
How will you ensure that those important areas are addressed, much less addressed effectively and sustainably? Do you have a suggestion on how someone else might accomplish or even supervise those assigned to the needed work? [In my own mind] I'm not complaining about you complaining, just wondering what you see as solutions to the problem of people working on what they like rather than what may be essential to the over all good of the OS.
