Stick to your guns, Christopher. The experienced developers working
on projects like these may have a better understanding of why it
hasn't been implemented yet, but maybe what they need is some young
blood to tell them to get off their duffs and get it done!

Of course, if it's important enough to you, learn more about it
and show them up by implementing it yourself!
