Any reason not to include that version?
(whether now[1] or after the release)

It's much easier to work with some old library that has consistent behaviour everywhere than it is to find and work around the differences between platform libraries e.g. on Windows, Linux, and some regular UNIX variant. At work I need to do that with VA Smalltalk code page conversion (UTF-8 to ISO8859L1 and back) - code that works on the client doesn't work on the server, so there's a special case and workaround needed to get everything right.
