Here’s a random of a modest feature request that has been marked “solved” but it definitely hasn’t been:

> [@Enable tcpip mode through Developer menu](https://community.amazondeveloper.com/t/enable-tcpip-mode-through-developer-menu/24802):

> Is your feature request related to a problem? I’ve been very successful in getting Kepler development going on Windows with WSL, except one small part of the development process, which is enabling tcpip mode on a new device.

Even if I very quickly bind and attach the device to WSL during these few seconds, vda on WSL doesn’t find it. Ev…

Topics in the Feature Requests category can be upvoted to gauge interest, only if they are OPEN. So though I’m interested in this feature too, I cannot register that interest.

Just like a bug report, please leave feature requests open so they can be voted on, discussed, and updated, until they are resolved (either by becoming implemented or being definitively rejected).

This will make us happier & more likely to contribute our own requests, too.

Hi @mikey

Thanks for writing in with this idea of keeping new Feature Requests open till it’s integrated so that we can capture interests of the community on the same post.  
I have discussed this internally and am happy to let you know, we have decided to follow your suggestion.  
The [original post](https://community.amazondeveloper.com/t/enable-tcpip-mode-through-developer-menu/24802) is now reopened and you can vote your interest there.

Warm regards,  
Ivy
