Is it time to stop adding features to soaring software? Is ittime to focus on reliability?

Several, but the most glaring one is GlideNav's use of wind data. On
an out-and-return flight GNII will use the ground speed achieved on
the first leg to predict the performance and arrival time on the
second leg. Works fine with a light wind, but with a strong tail wind
on the first leg it will sucker you into going far too deep into a
turn area and maybe landing out.
I discussed this with the developer and found it isn't a bug but a
deliberate design choice. I have wondered if this design was carried
over to ClearNav.
