Yeah, it’s unclear when we’ll be in a position to invest attention into the Kanban feature at this time.
It is something I’d like to revisit at some point. I think the adoption of the theme component has provided some evidence that there is a desire for more of this sort of thing out there.
Implementing it at as a theme component has had upsides – it’s relatively easy for any admin to find and install it – but it also comes with some significant constraints that make it difficult to design it the way one might expect.
If and when we do revisit it, I think there are two possible paths we go down – we could use the desired feature set for a Kanban board as a reason to improve the APIs available for theme components, or we could turn it into a core feature or plugin and have more access to add fit for purpose server APIs we need.
Until then, I think it’s likely to only get tweaks for specific issues.
