@ajevans85, please look at this conversation (and the CONTRIBUTING.md section linked to from there): https://github.com/elm-lang/core/pull/421#issuecomment-146932267.

If you want to suggest a Task.fold function for potential eventual inclusion in core, then start a new task-extras package, or look around for one to write a pull request for. Possibly http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/TheSeamau5/elm-task-extra/latest.

I have created a task-utils package, it's a pitta to import it for 1 function. It's a trivial extremely useful function, pretty common + core in other langs/tools.

Duly noted, my time will be spent elsewhere if feature requests are just shut, because ...

Sorry you feel offended. It's just how extensions to core are meant to be organized here. Do you prefer having your pull request kept open but ignored? (And adding cognitive burden for @evancz, because there would be a pull request open here that he "has" to ignore because it is not meant to be open according to how he wants to organize extensions of core.)

If you feel this is an inappropriate strategy, maybe start a discussion on the mailing list?
