The very fact that both of you can find lots of already-implemented stuff on the wishlist further enforces my point...all surrounding documents are hopelessly outdated. If a feature was implemented, why is it still on the vote/wishlist?
Which also makes it kinda hard to pinpoint what's actually there and what not, so I can't tell you which obscure features he only talked about and which were implemented. Plus, im purposefully being generic. I am not talking specifically about ObscureRockPatchFeatNo55, I am generally talking about wanted vs. unwanted features. A feature may be as useful as ever for the one using it - if nobody uses it, 'cause nobody wants it, its implementation is a waste of time.
In addition, that "seems to be working" part is also part of the problem. You don't know if he's working on it. You assume so, from some sidenote he made, or some ages-old update on ModEnc. The only real way to know what's being worked on is to wait for it to be released. (And yes, that is an implication that work-in-progress code is being released as completed.)
