I apologize, I wasn't trying to imply that. I was trying to imply that  
without such privileges it requires far too more effort on my part to  
advocate and cajole for someone to merge said changes than I have time for  
right now. I am quite exhausted after spending over a month trying to get  
some trivial changes merged into DRuntime. I wasn't trying to ask for  
merge rights. The merge process around here is glacial and that could  
easily kill D.
