Rather than necro-bump this thread, I decided to post this here. Specifically, I wish to respond to Orion's post.
To me, this thread represents the exact thing I was talking about when I mentioned that the SteerCo. should help guide the developers. In this thread, we see them suggesting (not demanding) that developers specifically focus their efforts on certain parts, and this was the point I was trying to make.
Now, I actually understand and even agree with the decision of the SteerCo. to focus on the Non-CA parts, and it looks like the suggestion was followed and the desired results were achieved.
However, now that this hurdle is out of the way, the question begs to be asked: Where to next, SteerCo? You clearly have the power to focus the efforts of (at least some) developers. Will you focus on making sure standard, non-patterned System parts are developed quickly? Will you focus on the woefully behind patterned/molded minifig parts? Perhaps something else entirely? Perhaps some system where, for each update, you focus on different things (minifig-centric updates, new-part-centric updates, etc...) would be ideal?
Where do we go from here?
