I don't really care where else it's used.  If we have to hack the source
code before we can use it, it's not mature for our purposes.  Even when
(if) that requirement reduces to "you have to use the latest bleeding
edge release", it'll be problematic for people whose platforms supply
a less bleeding edge version.  I was signifying a desire to wait until
compatible versions are reasonably common in the wild before we spend
much time on this.
