Oh, I would never say that they're opposed. But I'd argue that one of 
them is quite useless and not worth the effort given the currently 
available resources... ;-)

'nuff said!

This being one of hundreds of bugs in trac isn't merely enough. To me 
this is quite a binary decision, either we do it (1), or we don't (0). 
At the moment neither OLPC nor Sugar Labs has an adequate process in 
place to gather feedback and integrate it into development decisions 
(or at least none that I'm aware off). Having that would be a major 
feature and selling point compared to any other currently available 
solution.
