Not what Chris's post says
Yes, you are right, and if you are reading Chris's post carefully, he agrees
with that. What he wanted to say: Posting your request into this database is
not bringing it to the attention of the right people. You should address your
wishes to IBM Support instead, so it gets attention from the people, that
decide about the future development of the product.
And Chris is right in that there are almost no people from IBM Development
present in this discussion database.
