I, for one, lost interest in doing the work when I realized I was receiving, quite literally, 5 times more complaints than combined patches, constructive criticism or positive feedback. At this point, I'm very willing to help anybody who is doing the main development, with either coding or testing, but I have no interest being a lead developer on the project. I don't know if we'll have switched to this by 5.0-RELEASE, but I definitely see some very real value in having the system in there, even if RC_NEW is set to NO by default.
