What kind of prioritization did you have in mind? We don't have developers queuing up to take up development tasks, and we have no means of telling someone to do some job and not the other. Emacs development is driven by volunteers doing what they want when they want it and when they have time. There's no real resource management issue here, because the resources we have cannot be managed. We can only say that some feature would be important to have -- and we've done so in this case. We've also provided what I think was constructive feedback to the person who works on this particular issue when he asked for it. That is about all we can do.
