So you are actually saying that this patch may be applied some time in 2016 
(and may be not). With this rate I will not be able to change 1000 lines of 
code during the rest of my life. I hope, you understand that I cannot accept

What is your opinion about changing the development model? Should it be changed 
or do you think that everything is OK?
