Of course not.

Hrm.  I think you read too much into it.  I was not really complaining,
just making a statement on my observations about the status of BT
(audio) on Linux for the last year or so (since I got a dongle a year
ago Xmas).  A person can make an observation without it being a
complaint.

I wish I had the time for that than I do.  That's not to say I don't
contribute.  I've had my fingers in any number of projects over the
years and even try to find time to do what I can now.  I used to have
lots more time for it though, when I was a young, single man.  Not any
more.  :-(

Dude.  Like I said.  It was just my light-hearted observation that over
quite a number of kernel releases since I first tried BT audio that it
has always been "almost there, just one more patch to kernel XYZ".  I
don't expect anyone to rush out and scratch my itch.  If it itches me
enough, I will do some scratching.
