no. it has been posted on the list 7 years ago, so a lot of people new about it. it was discussed and re-implemented at pdcon 2004, and then posted to the patch-tracker; so even more people knew about it.
it was obvious that miller felt reluctant about accepting the patch, and in 2010 the issue was finally closed on sourceforge.
"knowing" about it doesn't mean "liking" or even "accepting".
