When gradle is executed from command line outside of IDEA and when IDEA restarts all Scala modules earlier converted from facets to SDKs will be reverted back to facets.

Hmm, I think this is a change we’d have to make in the way we generate the project files to support Intellij IDEA 14.

it’s not really about interest, but cost of fixing vs. cost of not fixing as we have limited time budgets.

So, your options are to raise the cost of not fixing (e.g. create more complaints about this by more users) or reduce the cost of fixing (e.g. propose a solution and/or supply a fix by way of contribution).
