<p dir="ltr">It was closed by one or two individuals, and there has been significant comment since then. Asking to revisit a decision isn't crazy, and there have been reasonable suggestions made. I don't see a lack of core dev "jumping upon" as an active indication that patches would be rejected; merely that core devs are unlikely to produce such a patch themselves.</p>

Where did you see an indication that a patch would not be accepted?<br>

I think this is the wrong stage to evaluate cost. After all, one<br>
of the<br>
tenets of open source is that the core devs don't have to be the<br>
source<br>
of all change.<br>
<br>
<br>
But the core devs have to review the change and ultimately decide<br>
whether or not to commit it. In this case it looks as if a patch<br>
would not be accepted, so why keep going on about it, especially<br>
when there's a known work around?<br>
