While that is true enough, if one considers a product one would
nonetheless like to know whether some vital feature that is still
missing (and browsing is as vital as anything for a catalog) is in
the making or will be possible to implement later.
In this particular case, the criticism has revealed that there
is probably more to browsing than some on this list have
realized before. That's a positive result. It has also become
clear that we should consider several very different types of browsing.
