Pretty and cool don't always contribute to ease of use. Features can't grow to satisfy every user. It is helpful when those with minority demands understand that.
Of course, _my_ wishlist isn't a minority demand.

I must say that as someone who has a request that doesn't seem to be high on the list, either with the creator or other users (the ability to manually sort the reading list) it can be pretty tempting to whine "what about my stuff" each time a new release comes out without mention. But hey, no one wants to read me whine.
