I suppose, but that's really up to dev. I have no idea how they 
structure their time etc. From my perspective, I've moved from 
win/quickbooks to Linux/gnucash. So now I'm not spending $2-300 per year 
just on tax tables and updates not counting the every two years or so 
required upgrade. I figure why not get a few people together and pool 
resources, pick a feature and ask for it? Again, its really up to the 
devs. Maybe they like being able to develope when and how they want? It 
may turn some people off to have us dictate features for money. Then 
again I know some of these folks are basically freelancers anyway, and 
so why not? I also have no idea what developer time costs when you start 
dictating things.
