We don't want all the features

Who is supposed to be "we"? It borders on hubris to sell your own opinion as "we".
I, for example, want these options!

Besides, does anyone here think that what is now being sold to us as AI can get by without large amounts of program code?

"We" is the people who maintain Lichess. Who have the knowledge required to understand what it means, and who put the hours in to make it happen.

This post is written for developers who are contributing to Lichess. But thank you for sharing the fact that you want "these" options, without actually knowing what they are, since I mentioned none.

Not sure what you mean with AI here.
@thibault
If requests like (for example) new pieces need codes that cost a lot to maintain in years, requests get useless because if no one uses them, they only help you go broke, which we don't want happens. Too much code costs a lot to maintain, so I think requests are useful in that way. But bug-reporting should be done, which moderators already do.
I will take this as a reference for lichess-feedback-forum requests from now on.
Really well written!
Is it possible for programmers, who are not currently in dev team, to suggest push requests. If yes, how?

of course, yes. Just like any other open source projects.
what happened for this blog editorial to come to your attention?
I understand the need to weigh things. but as non-dev, I am curious about what might have been happening.
I wish you the best clarity of assessment and resilience, you being lichess and its main creator.
I found myself saying the same thing to many people contributing new features, so I figured I'd write it one last time as a blog post, then just share the link!
