Hi again, I'd like to take the next step with this patch. I'm hesitant to do it without wider support though, since only a few people have commented.
@Marco Wahl; As I understand you've applied the patch and tried it out. Have you found any issues yet? What do you think of the patch after having used it for a while? Any other thoughts/comments/objections/praises?
