The consensus of the maintainers has historically been to never add features
that they don't personally need, unless somneone supplies code, documentation,
and a regression suite.  And then it gets integrated at their discretion.

There are already at least two major splinter groups using features that
have been rejected for whatever reasons:  Those using advisory locks as
supplied by Noel Yap, and those using mcvs.
