Well, it can't be branched off into a different code branch, and everyone else continues to do their work while one person tries to fix this (since this will change whatever they are working on) is what I mean by the above. So that means that for one release cycle, or possible two (that is 6 months, or a year), there would be no improvements, no bug fixes, nothing other than this one thing, and then some other things that used to work may not work, or could work very differently, and all existing scenes would likely be completely broken.
Finding the time to completely pause Corona development like that would be very hard, and in many ways more detrimental to users and to Corona itself than the benefit of this one issue being fixed - this only happens in specific situations, when the light has directionality, and there is a workaround which does take a bit of extra set up but is not impossibly hard to do.
So it comes down to that we know the issue is there, we know the impact it has on users, and we would like to fix it - and if we decide to work on this particular issue to the exclusion of all else, we will for sure let everyone know. And yes, like any issue, that may be "never" as it is not possible to do all the things, sorry. That also means if anyone asks again, we will have the same answer, and we'll be transparent and honest about it as always.
