  This makes it sound like the feature was accepted, but I didn't want to do the remaining work.
  elvisangelaccio was clearly against the feature from the beginning and he never said he'll accept the feature, even if all problems are fixed, just that he **might**.
  So I didn't wanna spend more time on something that most likely will be rejected.
