Possibly.  I need to find the time to properly review the patch; it's
in my queue, I just haven't gotten to it yet.  I'll reply to the patch
posting with either a note that the patch has been merged, or a set of
questions/feedback that needs to be resolved.  If you haven't heard
from me on the patch, the best thing you can do is exercise patience.
