OOo is a very complex application. Sometimes a patch does not address all facets
and problems and either omitted important details, creates new bugs etc. Don't
misunderstand me: we will try to do our very best to get all patches integrated
we get (see e.g. http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS/entry/patch_integration). I just
wanted to point out that getting patches does not mean that you always save a
lot of time. Especially bigger features (like this one) usually aren't done in
patches and if they are done we still need several weeks of work to get them
integrated. A good example is issue 33737 where we already have invested 3-4
weeks of work for the integration and still are not done yet.

Of course if anybody wanted to work on this issue we will try to help. Working
on something is the "easiest" way to make us shift our priorities. :-)
