someone has to approach him to integrate them? *raised eyebrow*

Karel, where did things stand the last time this was brought up?  We
haven't gone beta yet, can you re-submit a patch for v7.1 before beta so
that we can integrate the changes?  *Maybe*, if possible, submit it such
that its a compile time option, so that its there if someone like Alfred
wants to be brave, but it won't zap everyone if there is a bug?
