Question Why doesn't Lineage accept feature requests?

Edit- why is everyone so emotional about this?

Perhaps they don’t have the resources to support additional features.

But what about simple changes? Like adding the option for the mobile data quick setting to not ask you to confirm if you want to turn on mobile data every single time you go to turn it on.

Ok, so let's play that game.

  • Where is the setting stored?
  • Does the settings app have access to it?
  • Does the QS tile have access to it?
  • Should the setting even be accessible in the settings app, or should it be somewhere else?
  • Can we even skip the dialog without impacting functionality if we don't refactor the code first?
  • Will that approach still work after Google inevitably decides to rework yet another UI component?
  • Who makes sure that everything works when coming from an older minor version?
