The main problem was that the new stack would be imported just days after the new TTY layer was committed, which caused a lot of resistance (which makes sense, as debugging problems would become much harder). I believe Alfred, who would be doing the import, went on vacation a few weeks after. Personally, since we have the new TTY layer for some time now, I think it would be good if Alfred (CC'ed) would attempt to request this import again, if his time permits. Regards, -- Rink P.W.
