Ajay,

As I told you before I think the main reason your proposal wasn't
selected was because it was for features not found important (or as
important as other features) and involved a lot more than most SoC
proposals involve (changing both Jovie and speech-dispatcher itself
adding a new feature to both in addition to other tasks in only Jovie
codebase).

BR,
Jeremy
