Actualy I made the same experience. I submited several patches in
the past which were either ignored or at first wanted and then
turned down with some "I will do that by myself when I have the
time for it" reason. This is quite frustrating and gives me the
impression that I am more or less wasting my time. No offense
meant, but I wont submit any further patches to the official
freeciv project. I will continue to maintain our local mod and
make a few notices what I did. I will put the diffs on a web
page so whoever wants them can try them out - or let it be.

I know how you feel Ben. Actualy, I liked your idea pretty much.
