there is no "conclusion".  when discussion on a topic peters out, it either
means the people involved lost interest in it, or someone (silently) decided
to put it on their todo list.  if you want to make sure something like this
gets remembered, file an enhancement request in bugzilla.  personally, i
don't really care about this feature all that much, so it's off my radar.
if someone else wants to do the requisite research and implement it,
that's their choice, and we'd be happy to include the contribution.

p.s. please don't CC me on list emails.  it should be more than obvious
by now that i'm on the list.  in general there's no reason to ever CC
anyone on a list email, unless they explicitly request that you do so.
you're not going to get my attention better, as any mail with the list
address in TO or CC gets filtered to a separate folder, and then i have
to delete duplicates, which annoys me.
