>>hat a significant amount of people like the feature

So what?

Consider this argument: 80% like a feature 20% don't. You implement it, now 20% of the people aren't happy. Next feature is also 80%/20%, now between 36-20% aren't happy. Keep doing this and you will alienate most of your user base.

Did anybody actually want this feature? What percentage was that?

You can also never implement anything and then suddenly you have no more users because the competition has all the features.

I'm pretty sure that was Mozilla's experience until they switched to rapid release.
