I guess we could, but that strikes me as being arrogant in the extreme: “Lots of community members came to us with this list of complaints, but they don’t really know what’s important, so we put this other issue straight to the top of the list”.

I’m not sure that sort of approach would be terribly well received, either.

I just took a look at the current list (from http://news.lugnet.com/ambassadors/ right?) and I think there is a good reason to place 9V ahead of all of those issues:

If none of those issues are addressed by LEGO, there is no change. If the 9V trains issue is not addressed, things will get much, much worse for the hobby.

In other words, I think it’s more important to prevent something which will have at least as big of an impact on some AFOLs as the color change had - I can easily see a number of trainheads abandoning the hobby if 9V trains are canceled - than to improve the existing product.
