Add an "Announcement" to the appropriate Community category to acknowledge known problems

Where reported problems have been passed to the FamilySearch engineers, could it please be confirmed that these issues are being given attention?

As an example @N Tychonievich has added an announcement to "General Questions" confirming known problems with the 1900 US census collection. Unfortunately, many other issues are not being given similar treatment.

For example, there have been lots of reports regarding problems caused by the "Auto Standardization" program - a computer-based exercise which has caused many thousands of perfectly correctly standardized placenames to now appear in a completely incorrect form in the records. Surely there is a need for this issue to be acknowledged and users to be reassured the issue will be / is being addressed?

Also, in spite of literally thousands of complaints, there has been no recent update to confirm work is continuing to improve the revised interface for the Search engine. This is a huge issue for most FamilySearch users, so please find a way to reassure us that our concerns have been noted by the developers, who are currently working to address both general and specific issues with the Search engine / pages.
