An expected reply, and exactly the kind of thing I'm trying to avoid.
Just look at the 30-year collection of information that we have here on the
newsgroup.  Too vast, too spread out, and currently unreliably searchable.
And I don't want to go to github and have to then sift through all of that.

What I'd like is a consolidated, up-to-date list that anyone can look at
"at-a-glance" and be able to readily assess the state of every keyword and
primitive, and distribution include file, etc.

Right here on our own, locally-controlled server space.
Because I prefer "here" as well.

I should be able to scroll down to, or search for #read, and only see _existing_
bugs (unless I want to view the bug report and remediation history).  Every new
POV-Ray task should not trigger a new, epic quest.

3rd party stuff is undeniably useful.  However I disdain _reliance_ upon it.
Just look at the Object Collection fiasco.

Here again, I will shamelessly make a plug for some kind of project management
system.
