I'm not sure I see the problem, Gandalf. Certainly there are times when the arguments we are have about prioritization and the various features often get tedious, obnoxious and sometimes immature, but I think they are inevitable, and in the end useful.
That depends on what the object is. If the object is to create a quick list that the devs can glance at when wondering what they might want to work on next, in order to not forget good ideas that were mentioned, then extensive discussions in this thread will get in the way.

If the object is to create a thread which is irritating to read and buries good ideas under piles of argument until it flames up and disappears.. well that would just be standard.

I think Endoperez started this out with a great list, and you now have three of choices for format:
a) 1 thread (as it is now)
b) 2 threads (the wishlist [possibly stickied] and a debate thread)
c) N threads (the wishlist and a separate thread for each argument)

I think a) and b) are both reasonable choices, just don't go to option c) as that will make it harder to track issues.
I disagree abit. I think the list is worth being stickied. But I think there will be too many subjects to discuss in one thread. If the sticky thread lists each item such as
- a map command to put indies on patrol
and then just a clickable link to the thread explaining that it allows adding castles to a map for stronger AIs without having them exploitable by 1 scout chasing everyone into the castle and taxing the province to death...
well I think that would be a very clean arrangment.
