> I'm slightly surprised BitBucket is not doing the same, but their Atlassian masters seem more interested in pushing irrelevant features at the moment

Yeah, I fear Bitbucket will always be shackled to the rest of the Atlassian product line, and never really allowed to innovate much.

Hey, Kelvin from Atlassian here. We are pretty flat out ourselves improving both Bitbucket Cloud and Server. I can see how SSO isn't terribly important if Bitbucket is the only one of our products you use, but it's critical for our customers who co-own Bitbucket and JIRA (or Confluence, or HipChat, etc.). It was a fairly massive undertaking: retrofitting auth across our portfolio of products took some serious engineering effort. But we've still managed to squeeze a few fairly large releases out recently shipping features such as smart mirroring, Git LFS, and clustering - and have some other great stuff in the pipeline.

Hi Kelvin,

Any chance BitBucket has a public roadmap? I'm a user because of your free private repos, I hope to grow into a paid user this year. Thanks for all that you do!

Great to hear! Not quite, but we try to keep relevant feature requests on jira.atlassian.com (for Server) and https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues (for Cloud) as up to date with progress as we can.

Honestly, I don't know why you didn't have SSO years and years ago. You encourage crosslinking between products that have distinct session lifetimes, I feel like I spend all day typing in my password again.

(Also, can you take the fucking 'remember me on this machine' button away? It's a cruel, cruel tease. It has not worked a single time on 4 different installations I've had accounts on over the years)

Did LFS support ship just for self-hosted? I was searching for a home for a few private repos days ago and #11204 showed LFS as still unsupported for hosted BitBucket.

Yup, self-hosted for now but we're working to bring support for hosted soon.
