No, I didn't write that either. Please stop making up stuff. It won't be considered for jessie, that's all. > If so, then why not release it now for experimental?

To be crystal clear: no, this patch needs to be considered, reviewed, whatever, and not randomly uploaded to experimental. Feel free to ping this bug report once jessie is released. KiBi.
