Why would I spend time working on something without having some expectation that it wouldn't just get thrown away? I have no idea whether the folks in charge of this piece want this feature. If not, it doesn't matter whether I implement it; I'd just be wasting my time. I'm busy with enough other (free software) projects that I don't want to waste time coding to /dev/null. But if I suggest it to the developers list, perhaps someone with more time and/or more clout will think it's a good idea and it will actually get done. Besides, if I do it myself, nothing will get done on my other projects, because none of you are going to work on them.
