That feedback has low priortiy and is one-way. Join Apple's ADC at
<http://connect.apple.com/MemberSite> (it's free and allows you to download
developmental software), then use the bug reporter at
<https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb> to submit bug
reports or enhancement requests. Once these are documented (you get a
number when you submit them), you can track their status, append additional
information, and receive feedback from engineering.
