I have been a professional developer for more than 20 years, I know exactly what it would entail. You can say "Not cost effective" and you can say "Not worth the funds", but hard/difficult/whatever that is what work is. However customers should be taken care of, and if you are going to be asinine enough to introduce a system like this 5 years after the system has been put in place, you do the freaking work. half-a**ed doesn't even come close to how this was done, speaking as a developer. It's like converting an accoounting system and not making sure the balance sheet is right because it 'would take too much time'.
Cold_Metal, frankly to put this requirement on deploying the feature would have simply taken it off the table and we wouldn't have got it at all.
So would you rather have no feature, or what was delivered?
There was a poll and discussion on this very topic prior to release, and using the metric that it launched with was the overwelming majority opinion for those that participated.
