Court, why did you send the same post again?  Isn't this the second  
time you sent the same email?  The first time you sent the request  
someone answered you quite directly saying that SFTP and FTP were  
both something the next major version would likely have as Alan has  
said they are on his list.

And as has been stated your opinion of important isn't necessarily  
everyone else's.  Nor is it necessarily the opinion held by even  
"most" people.

The current subversion support is more than enough for my needs and  
obviously its more than enough for most of the other people using it  
or we would hear more complaints.  And we don't.  That blog post was  
actually posted by someone else (I believe the author of BBEdit).   
The person was just pointing out (by providing a link to someone  
else's blog post) that your way of going about requesting wasn't  
likely to elicit a positive response simply because everyone has  
their own ideas about what is important and you aren't necessarily  
tapped into those ideas nearly as well as you may think you are.

If you have that much money more power to you.  But I can tell you,  
most competent programmers are going to need heck of a lot more money  
than that to motivate them.  Good luck with that.
