Please don't jump to such extreme conclusions.  We all are busy people, 
and reviewing a non-trivial change in a library function of such 
importance is something that cannot be done without sufficient free time.

That's why contributors are encouraged to make changes that don't modify 
existing algorithms and data structures too much: such changes have 
better chances of being reviewed quickly.  This has nothing to do with 
NIH.

I appreciate your efforts, as I'm sure everyone else here does.

Thanks!
