Implementing a superior system in lua is definitely possible (as done in ZK) and very much recommended.
It will definitely work better than now.
I do not say i disagree, but i have not army of slaves which does that for me. Thats really not solution to problem, if some tech is not working correctly. If noone plan to fix it,
disable that tech in engine completely then.
Guys, i do not need to hear that i should do that in Lua (I answered this already - before - directly - to googleFrog and also to Hokomo). I know I handle this mechanic in Lua but I would like to do other things than reimplementation of feature which engine promised to support. Once engine devs clearly say - ok, its shity and we do not have plan to support it, its acceptable. Once the feature is still there, i expect it will be fixed.

When you're distributing it over many places, you're just lowering the chance of it getting fixed to your liking.
This would be true if i will create redundant reports which can desync. I just linked you to all bug reports which are clear, clean, with proper repro and all the time on one place. Also I spent hours of my precious time to prepare you autotests (so saved you or any other engine dev ton of time to get to problem and provided technology which can be reused any time later). I really thought that putting just links in mantis formular proper way wont be problem for any of engine devs to do that properly THIS TIME and to prevent miscommunication THIS TIME. Especially if non-engine devs reports gets closed by "not able to repro in latest build" even if video, replay file and screenshots are attached.
Btw, if some project is using stone age ticket system with stupid distribution of rights, do not throw organization issues on your reporters. Its matter of engine devs to provide user-friendly and maintainable system for reporting issues.
Bugs I report are not ordinary bugs which are unkown and shouldnt be added to line with tons of others. Most of them have already tickets and because their context is not shared between mantis tickets, I use forum to create the missing context and push any of engine devs to some action.
By action i mean to disabling the tech or to do some fix.
