I absolutely agree that he should look at it. I was just kvetching about  
the backlog in general. There are some really good fixes that aren't  
getting merged. Realistically, I no longer expect for the full DI patch to  
make it in to 2.060; but at the same time I don't want it to get  
forgotten, and there are A LOT of bitrotten pulls on GitHub.
