sorry to disappoint you, but the suggestion is not very useful without a
good implementation.  As it stands now, there are many suggestions that
nobody implemented, there are many patches of low quality that cannot be
applied as is, and those who can apply patches have too little time.

The primary focus of development remains fixing the existing bugs rather
than adding new features.
