I'm sorry about that some features are not exactly perfect for what you
want, but we also don't have the needed manpower to work on these
features. We are currently working on internal-only projects related to
Eventum, so we are not going to have free time any time soon (i.e. next
month or so) to work on this.

And yes, I did receive your patch, but I just don't have the free time
right now to focus on it.
