I certainly never intended it to be MFCed. Jordan should have his
knuckles rapped because he MFCed it without even trying to run it at
which point it would have fallen flat on its face because it uses a perl
5.6 syntax.

That said, since it is now in -stable and the fixes are trivial I will
commit them shortly. It's certainly still a work in progress but the
critical bugs are stomped so I think it's safe to use, but not as useful
as it could be.
