The ata sources have changed a lot the last weeks, so until Thomas thinks his sources are under heavy development too, both should do their jobs and we've some patches from Thomas. If you include it now one depends of the other and you may get into the problem of both altering the code from the other at the same time. The (somewhat selfish) behavior to include it and give maintainership to someone else leads to a originator stopping his work or the creation of 2 parallel solutions. Isn't it better the core team (or someone else thinking (s)he's a better idea) supports Thomas and a stable and good solution is integrated later (maybe with maintainership of Thomas)?
