I'm sorry that you feel our efforts are not good enough. That said, for the reasons I mentioned, we've made a decision, both within the team and at the highest level of the Wikimedia Foundation, to not let perfect be the enemy of the good. Both with this feature, and in general.
We can't make software that has zero edge-cases. If we tried to do that, we'd never release anything. Especially with only two engineers.
