— we aim to make the crafter more consistent with other blocks that drop or eject items
In conjunction with what Tis_awesomeness mentioned it is clear that quasi-connectivity as described in MC-108 is part of Javas-redstone system. And the crafter is part of Javas-redstone system.
However the resolution as "Works As Intended" would indicate otherwise. It would mean that every single redstone component, that can be activated (droppers, dispensers and pistons) can also be qc powered, except for the crafter. This would make the crafter inconsistent in that regard, something that is clearly not mojangs intention.
