Gary, I appreciate the sentiment of not wanting to make a major change, but if you look at the commit history and the emails from 2013 you'll realize this last commit is actually fairly small. The only reason this wasn't done in 2013 was that the release process didn't seem to want to work for me, and so I gave up and forked the code.
Also, it should be noted that this is released as dbutils2 and so it won't conflict with people pulling in previous versions. Take a look at the changes, and provide feedback... But don't judge this simply on how large it is. Thanks!
