You’re right, it’s quite core, but it’s not what most users are asking for currently, and what they’re asking for (and our current roadmap) is core as well…
Sponsoring a feature is not about core versus non-core, it’s a way for users that are blocked by a missing feature and are building a commercial app (hence have a budget) to make sure they can achieve what they want. What startups usually do when someone asks for a feature is ‘Great, thanks for the suggestion’, and nothing happens… We don’t want to do this as we know that some users may need a feature that is blocking them.
We want to give the insurance to users that if they really need something they have a way to get it (of course if the feature is realistic).
