It is an open source library, as per the license and the code
availability.  What more is expected here?

No distro has to pick it up, that's not a requirement for kernel code,
we have many kernel helper programs that are not in distros.  Heck, udev
took a long time to get into distros, does that mean the kernel side of
that interface should never have been merged?

I don't understand your complaint here, it's not our place to judge the
code quality of userspace libraries, otherwise we would never get any
real-work done :)

thanks,
