If your idea was really so great, and this was really a solution, why don't

Yeah, yeah, we all know you have a terrible time maintaining FPC. Most
people can maintain legacy software, and still see chance for adding
and improving it.

IMHO this is somewhat unfair. And generally, it's not like free software
usually work. The core devlopers AFAIK are not on salary (at least not
for implementing our wishes!). Proper development is quite
time-consuming, I'm sure you know this very well. So, wouldn't it be
better to first prepare a consistent formal proposal/description (like
Marco suggested) or even a patch - and then if it is clearly good for
all and is nevertheless rejected for no reason - only after that start
flaming :)
Sorry, for off-topic, could not resist :(
