But nobody has implemented it correctly, it doesn't matter who wants the feature. That's why it keeps getting reverted. Also, this testing you are talking about should have happened long before you submitted that first patch that introduced all of these regressions. My observations tell me that the bulk of the testing happened afterwards and that's why all the regressions are popping up now.
