Christopher has not done most of his work on OpenLayers for MetaCarta for more than a year, and does almost all work for OpenLayers on his own time. Suggesting how people should spend their free time is rude, and demonstrates a lack of support for the open source nature of the OpenLayers project. Even if this were not the case, suggesting the priorities for any company without demonstrating some sort of expected compensation for that company -- especially in an open source project, where anyone has the ability to implement the feature in question -- is equally rude. If you want something, pay someone for it, or do it yourself. Don't suggest that you can somehow change the priorities of a company or developer in some other way. OpenLayers is open source for a reason. Take advantage of it.
