the most basic ones: lack of time / manpower and low priority task.
until now, the wide availability of the macro was also another, though it
should be good now.
I know that we can ship our own version, but that can lead to other issues.

thanks for your patch Laurent, I've just applied it (r2821).
so it will be available in 2.6.0 (a little bit more retained due to late bug
reports like this one).
