Existing customers tend to prioritize stability (fixing bugs) over new features.

Please note that even if you're not a customer our issue trackers are open so you can @mention the Product Manager to help them understand the severity and help to diagnose and fix things if you're so inclined.

As seen in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/issues/4029, a few people did show frustration, and why. And then began the never ending push back after push back.

I agree this issue hasn't been prioritized as high as it should. I meant to indicate that with "This bug took too long to fix." but I should have said it took to long to schedule.

We concluded the same internally recently and hence the focus on bugs and wider community contributions in 12.4. We overly focussed on getting the DAG https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/directed_acyclic_graph/ and Merge Trains https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/merge_request_pipelines/pipeli... out the door and missed a bad bug, we're sorry.

Not a GitLab user, but I'm deeply impressed with your openness in handling issues on this thread.

I've always appreciated how open he is, I just wish it never came down to having to flag him down on Hacker News to get something properly fixed (although, I appreciate that is still something I can do).
