My trick is to implement standards in the Solaris kernel
to get support for standard compliant features in mkisofs ;-)

I would call it NIH Syndrom :-(
It can be overcome if enough people ask for support.

The best I can do is to implement things in the kernel and to convince people
to do more collaboration.
Unfortunately the "Linux kernel people" are not interested in kernel extensions.
On Solaris, it is easier to get things into the kernel if you clearly explain
things and in case things fit.
Convincing people is harder... but I convinced people that GPL code may call
CDDL code. Now it is only a matter of interest in the Linux camp for ZFS to
appear inside Linux.
