Despairing of hoped-for NEX-7 firmware update

Search for firmware update suggestions on this forum and you'll find a lot of recommendations, including 10 - 15 often repeated and very valid ones. For instance, why only plus or minus 0.7 EV on the NEX, when other cameras, even some other Sonys support much wider ranges? Why make you switch off RAW to shoot HDR when you don't have to to shoot HHT or single-color highlighting?
