No. After I did the initial implementation to a specification that you
considered acceptable, you insisted that I add additional features.
However, these features are not presently needed for the master FreeBSD
archive. They would certainly be an improvement which I would consider
attempt to add in a future revision.

Rather than attempt to meet a "moving target" before ANY of my work
is allowed in, I prefer to spend my limited time working within other
projects where the methodology is specification driven.

As I have complained before, there really is a double standard applied
to participation.
