In reply to Michael McGlynn.

Agreed. Core devs priorities are weird. I find surprising that none of them want to work in areas (an improved media library, post-to-post relationships, multilanguage support, etc...) that would yield a positive reaction from both users and developers. Instead they like to work in the Customizer, a new iteration of the Twenty theme, or the new shiny toy in the room, Gutenberg. Puzzling.
