@frevib @martin-g Is there anything anyone can do to increase the possibility of this being merged?
I have no idea. People come and go on this task ... It seems no one has the time to finish it.
@henrik242 There is one thing blocking the pipeline. Because the code is dated and has quite some accidental complexity, there exist some pipeline issues. I have asked for help in the Slack channel, but no response. I'll ask again.
