Right, I can more than understand that the whole team is way busier than what they all thought, I'm just asking for some kind of acknowledgement from Andrey's side rather than leaving we all discussing forever... Yes, you are right, there was a lot of fuzz around manual sorting and out of the blue that made it to production and we can now enjoy it. That is sooo great... But, wouldn't it be better for us to know that he is working on a certain request already rather than discussing in vain if he is on it?
