Just a thought -- would you like to set up the lockers, compile versions for
all platforms, provide the bug support, and continuing maintenance for these
packages?
I will bring your suggestion up with the release team, but basically we
don't add packages to the release without a compelling reason. However, we
are very pleased if individuals or groups want to support alternatives in
lockers.
Thank you for your suggestion
