Guess there's no point in writing another one then is there? Or 
how many "police reports" do you need to file before the "police" 
change their decision?

"Approved conditionally"

*crosses fingers* it's been 4 years but maybe this is the year 
this actually happens.

Anyways there's a whole list of DIPs that didn't get any 
attention, they were just dumped. I know a new DIP processes was 
created but not even a quick pass through of the DIPS with some 
comments of whether it would be worth migrating the DIP to the 
new process or not. I mean there's one DIP that was accepted but 
the PR implementing it has been sitting in the queue for 4 years.
