FP-444 and other neglected Adobe Flex jira bug/feature posts

Did you also read the recent blog post by Ted Patrick that resulted in lots of comments on the fact that nothing seems to happen with most of the Adobe Flex related bug/feature posts? The most notable throughout all the comments was FP-444 (possibility to catch global exceptions - let alone that the Flash Player starts ignoring events after such an exception...). It's open for years and a lot of Adobe Flexers really want this functionality. Do you think in the mean time someone at Adobe took 10 minutes to add a comment to this bug to explain the status of it? No. Does this leave a good impression with prospects? No. Do you think big customers trust such a supplier? No. Will Adobe eventually do something about the near stand still of these bug postings? I hope an Adobian finds 10 minutes to write a positive comment on this blog post in order to give confidence to the community that they choose the right RIA platform...
