After Windows implementation, I have done first level tests also to make sure it works.
I think Tom is the right person to comment on how to see this patch move forward.
I am not sure what's in his mind that he didn't provide the feedback or proceeded to complete it.
Is it due to time or he might have forseen some design or usecase problem, if it's due to time then I think it can be persuaded.
