Anything we take adds work to our overall effort to support that new
feature added.  And you are asking us to do that work for you, for free,
for forever.  Sorry, given that your attitude does not understand that
this is a community and we need to work together, I don't think it's
worth continuing here, sorry.

If you change your mind in the future, you know how to contact us.
