You're assuming a fact not in evidence.

Well, the current "excitement" was apparently because I provided a one
line direct response to a question rather than assuming that what was
actually being asked for was a history lesson and a reminder that
patches are thoughtfuly considered. Little did I know that there was an
indignant person out there who was capable of speaking for lots of
Cygwin users who languished in ignorance on this subject.
Languishing aside, however, if someone is willing to provide a patch to
provide a new option and new functionality, it will be given the same
attention that we always give to patches.
