Yes, because I'm prepared to put in the work to make sure these things
get done properly, whereas others will just comment once and then
ignore the rest of the thread.

Uh huh, and that's what I've been doing the whole time when I've been
asking for a patch for PMS, a GLEP etc.

That's nonsense. I've put in a lot of work on the PMS side for features
that I understand. If multilib gets beyond what Brian called "a fairly 
opaque list of things", *then* I'm quite happy to help if I'm able.
Right now, though, there's nowhere near enough that I (or as far as I
can see, anyone else) can even start to go anywhere with it.

This isn't going nowhere because no-one wants to help. It's going
nowhere because what's been presented so far is nowhere near enough
that anyone *can* help, and requests for a better description of what
we're supposed to be looking at are being met with complaints that we
haven't magically done all of the remaining work (which on this one I
suspect is far more effort than what's been done so far).
