  • Too gnu centric. Related bug: 226419
  • Unable to easily refresh the discovered data when the environment changes Related bugs: 206372,142619,190902,264841
  • The UI for setting the scanner discovery profile is very confusing. Related bugs: 250166,255694,256374,262219
  • Scanner Discovery data is not tied to configurations
  • Unable to support multiple discover providers
  • Difficult to integrate built-in discovery with Managed Build.
  • No consistent API for integrators to contribute Path and Macros.
