It just hasn't been added
yet. Holidays, poeple time.... was that what people thought would
work? I think the conversation sort of drifted out and got sidelined with
Drupal 4.7 stuff. Now that you have reminded folks of it we'll see what
Dries decides next week. Someone created a request for database issues
forum too I think.
Change on Drupal.org is evolutionary over
time. Discuss refine, repeat, refine, drift, remind, refine... stuff
suddenly happens :)
