Some people wanted it, some people didn't. That's life. That's 
true for every DIP, sometimes weighted in one direction over the 
other. You can read the feedback and discussion threads to see 
what specific points were made for and against the DIP.

I don't know what that means, but the DIP author agreed that the 
criticism you've quoted was valid. He felt he was unable to 
counter it sufficiently and therefore would be unable to make a 
valid case for the DIP.

The DIP has been withdrawn, not rejected. So if you feel strongly 
enough about it and you think you can provide a convincing 
motivation for implementing it in preference to the existing 
library solution, please get in touch with me.
