First a bit of classification:

Is this missing functionality something that bugs only you and a few  
other malcontents or is this a notorious issue among a broad swath of  
users?

If it's the latter, I'd call it 'bloody typical'.

If it's the former, I'd call it 'well-engineered', even were _I_ the  
one feeling inconvenienced (rather than a anarchist like _you_).  
Always best to leave the audience hungry for version 2.0, after all.
