I don't understand why features like Tagging, Extended Profiles and those new "Usergroups" aren't released as addons.

I also don't understand why they don't finally pull through with the OO. Classes like Search or UserAuthentication with a defined set of public functions could easily be replaced by other code, allowing easy Sphinx integration or authenticating users from other sources (how old is that thread on vb.com? 5 years?). Not supporting PostgreSQL after so many years is a joke too, they can't be using that many MySQL specific code, and if they do, it's bad anyway.

New features are fine, alexi is correct, they need to, but it isn't all that hard to pay a tiny of attention to the bigger boards. Nobody is asking for a all-in-one solution for all problems but at least some attention would do much.
