There is a comment from one of the graphics project leads who has tried the patch and posted his results: <quote> Just finished my first evaluation and integration of the patch on my system. First impression from my side is, that this is - in its current state - not more than an early prototype, showing that other backends are possible to be integrated. Product quality is in no way given with the patches. => Sweetc et. al., I had to patch (as Ryan mentioned) some other code to get it running, so that the attached files and patches can't be used without any additional work. I will follow up with Ryan on this to make a product out of it. Target is still unclear for me at the moment, but won't be OOo 2.0, as far as I can see. </quote> So before entering any discussions about why or why not the patch will or will not be integrated into OOo we should wait until the code has the necessary quality to get integrated into OOo at all. >From the issue comment you can see that the graphics project definitely is interested in the patch, but obviously has some concerns related to quality. It should be understandable that such a patch will not be integrated if the next planned release is only a few weeks away.
