I do think that this is a big part of the issue, the patches have been
floating around for ages and it's not clear when they'll manage to make
it in (and hence when it'll be worth moving to use them).

Maybe because nobody is actively promoting them and pushing them 
forward?  It is not sufficient to just post patches to a mailing list 
and wait.

Yeah, it's a chicken and egg situation - it seems very difficult for
them to get integrated so few people are spending much time on them
which means it's not obvious that there's a pressing need for them :(
