And few others like SCM are also missing. I am talking about this many
times already, to multiple vendors, and I am still surprised why people
on purpose give more work to the maintainer. Well, not my tree, so not
my work, but if you ever wonder why your patches are not applied for
longer time, that could be one of the reasons.
