Well, enough time for sure has not passed as I'm waiting for other
reviews and comments for more than half of year, reminding them, and
there is no input. So why should I react quickly in few days?

And why should fix it? Just prepare another patch and wait another year
until somebody notice it and merge it? I really do not have motivation
here. I have already spent too much time on this stuff, sent lot of
changes for which nobody cares.
