I'd rather say it's unmaintainable. People have tried and failed. It was kept 
in the tree for years literally after it became unmaintainable because people 
were trying. And the bugs have piled up during that period..

What surprises me is that no-one has put it in a dedicated overlay and 
announced it for use with layman (the zugaina overlay does have it but I 
think it contains so much other crap too that I cannot recommend using that).
