But it is in the coding stage, we have a starting PR already, it's already decided the WB will be removed, it seems the consensus is to have a task dialog when in edit mode for the scaling and placement functionality, no independent command for inserting an image plane is required since it can be done just through import. Werner is moving the independent MDI view to a command in the tools menu so not even the niche cases for that use are left behind.

Just what that function should include is the current topic of discussion.
And that is an implementation detail... Basically what's up for debate is the exact content of the task dialog. You might not like GitHub's UX but be understanding of devs too please, it is much better to have the info centralised in one well described issue.

Moving the market research to the R&D lab too soon leads to the "New Coke" phenomenon. The R&D folks thought it was great and the customers did not think the same way.
But GitHub issues are "market research" too, it is freely accessible to all users, the idea of moving the discussion to GitHub issues is not to have a developer echo chamber, but to move meaningful input from everyone to a trackable place that's linked to the development platform.
