Well, try not to get too frustrated. I think that's usually how it
goes with any large, busy open source project. Looks like in that
ticket's thread José took a pretty good amount of time to reply to you
- and people don't usually waste time replying if they simply don't
care.
Contributing to open source takes a lot of persistence and thick skin.
I've had my fair share of patches rejected and ignored, too. Anyway, I
think you've consistently raised important issues on this list, and
given useful answers to other people's questions. I'm not a member of
the Rails core team, but I would encourage you to keep doing what you
are doing. :)

That's actually the opposite of what I'm suggesting. That method
formats an object so that it can be displayed according to the
settings for the locale.
I'm taking about adding a method that accepts localized input like
"10.000,001" and returns the correct float value.
But you're right: that method should be made to work correctly for the
case you gave; and if not, then at least the documentation should be
changed.
