I thought that much would be clear... because Haiku is aiming to be R5 
compatible.

It wasn't Karl's decision that Haiku would be R5 compatible but not ZETA 
compatible. At the time this decision was made by the Haiku developers, ZETA 
was still alive and a moving target. Haiku R1 is specifically aiming to 
reimplement a fixed target. ZETA is not moving any more, but I am sure most 
people don't want to hold up the release of Haiku R1 for making it ZETA 
compatible as well. Furthermore, some stuff was implemented in ZETA that Haiku 
developers disagreed with on a technical merit, like for example the Local Kit. 
So I guess that we don't want to add more support for API that we would like to 
implement in a different way in post-R1 releases of Haiku. There is already 
enough of that just by implementing all the R5 APIs. I hope you understand.
