@rosyteddy, you do keep saying BP is free, and imply or state “so nothing will change”, actually look at the amount of development that is carried out in the core development teams free time, frankly it’s phenomenal, BP improves at an incredible pace. Some functionality may rightly be never forthcoming, WP is an app that relies a lot on plugins to extend functionality, BP is the same if you want this type of extended functionality beyond a basic level then it will probably always be thirdparty provided.
And you’re right there likely will be a comment like core getting too heavy, all this type of added functionality has to be maintained, it adds to the development burden in needing supporting, core needs to do the basics in as solid a manner as possible with additional functionality added in a carefully thought out process, like the member type api or attachments api.
