I too would like this, but as a software developer I know why they don't 
do it (at least, I know why *I* don't do it).

1) The amount of time it would take to compile such a list might not be 
unreasonable. But then they have to respond to all the questions, 
suggestions, and arguments that it will generate. And the 'they' is 
basically Wayne, who really has more to do now than one regular human 
can do.

2) Once something is listed as a future feature, many will interpret 
that as a contract. If it turns out later to have been a bad idea, too 
complicated, etc. then the decision to not do it will have to be justified.

Think about this in terms of the *thousands* of people who have an 
interest in the K3 and you can see why it would be a heavy load.
