[Gervase Markham]

Hi Dylan,

Thanks for doing this research :-)

As in, what the bug requests is too perfect and so has not been
actioned? Or in the bug, people have argued for something simple and
been rebuffed?

The ideas are:

1) Webhooks or Push Connector API

-- Can you explain what you mean by "webhooks" in this context, and
expand a bit more on what this would look like and what it would let you do?

2) Auth Stack Changes

-- If the auth stack is getting in the way of people actually using it
to authenticate things, we should fix that, yes. BMO has some plans in
this area, I believe - what are they, do you know?

3) Modernize UI

-- I think we should definitely start from glob's work. Does it support
mobile?

4) Advanced Search UI Problems

-- By "advanced" you mean the Boolean Charts stuff at the bottom of the
search page (as it used to be called)? This is indeed a great candidate
for an API-driven dynamic query builder rather than a bunch of dropdowns.

5) Product/Component Watching

-- I agree the extension should be shipped with core or be reimplemented
in core.
