I'd just like to note that Keith has some very good points here, and
just to add to that...

Things like this make it prohibitive for other contributors to get
involved, or for the core team to continue maintenance on the
application. This doesn't work well for an open source project.

It's just not something I think the core team wants to commit to,
especially not with the existing native projects already in place,
which are already doing a great job overall.
