For whom?
If you want Apple to fix your bug (or implement your suggestion), you want to make it as easy as possible for them to do so. You don't want them to overlook it amongst all the other mailing list messages. You don't want everyone at Apple to assume someone else will take care of it.
When you enter a bug, it's tracked so it's hard to overlook. And it's assigned to a single person at a time.
Probably less cumbersome than living with the bug...
I think I have made it clear that bugs and wish list are different. If you look at my original reply on July 17, I said I would like to see if Apple could have the following.
1. Apple's plan to incorporate Ada compiler (gnat) into Xcode. At present, the Ada compiler (gnat) is maintained independently by macada.org as well as individuals.
2. Apple's processor roadmap for PowerMac and if there is a possibilities to adopt AMD. AMD is known for lower power consumption than Intel.
3. If any plan for making cross-platform GUI application development possible by making GTK native to Apple's. At this moment, it is an open source project ( http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net).
Are they going to flood the Apple's Radar which I think it is more a bug tracking system?
Some people are complaining about the speed of Xcode. Is this a bug? And they wish to see Apple to improve its speed. I think it is more than a wish list than a bug.
A posting in the list could generate more interest among other developers than Radar, IMHO. Look at this thread for example. It has generated some traffic which IMHO, it is healthy.
The wish list web page I wass talking about is this merely a simple page listing what people wish for the next release. I don't see if it will tax too much of Apple's developers time and effort.
Well, once again, I apologize for this OT discussion. -- "If you missed the rising sun and the morning dew, don't miss the beautiful sunset." -- Adrian Hoe inspired by Michal Nowak, June 15 2004
