As a software professional, I get comments like this all the time from management. "It's a trivial change. Why is it taking so long?" I sigh and list all the issues - the details that they don't want to deal with - that we need to figure out so that their change works correctly and doesn't mess everything else up.
Maybe. But Pan&Zoom isn't in the featurecatalog for 2.7 anyway. So I expect it will come with 2.8 or even later.
So is it realy normal that a company needs 2 months for a softwareupdate with such "features" as a renaming-dialog and a search-dialog?
