This will be the case for Python < 3.x as they have also refused to accept patches that only fix python on haiku. Which is fine, it gives us more time to build an army before we try to take over the world ;) There may be ways to get patches into these projects, but it's got to be done in a way so as not to make their code dirtier than it was when we got it, if it ends up being cleaner code, then many times you'll find they do accept it. -scottmc
