I may be abrupt and I may be a lot of other things too but I've repeatedly
said that I am _for_ this idea. I was just not fond of the exact way it was
done so yes it could very well be reworked and then accepted.

I expect that those who truly want something done in libcurl will continue
arguing for their sake and adjust their patches/changes so that they fit the
views of the core committers. If they then don't reappear then the entire idea
risks getting dropped.

And of course I'm listening to what you say and I can change my mind if
convincing arguments are being brought up. I actually think history has proven
that to be true.
