You might notice that there are literally thousands of open requests and bug
reports against Nautilus. If we waited to ship until these were all
addressed then we would never ship, period.

It's conceivably possible to add support for such a feature in 20 lines of
code, but not if you want to have a user interface for choosing it. And if
you want to have a user interface for choosing it that fits in with the rest
of the user interface, then there's more work involved.

Adding additional comments to individual bug reports about how important
that feature seems to you is a good way to record your preferences in a
permanent way. Overall that is much more likely to eventually end up in
action than only posting messages to nautilus-list (though posting messages
to nautilus-list is also useful, and also sometimes will get attention right
away).
