I think this situation was somewhat unusual with the libOMV update - the names of fairly fundamental classes do not 
change every day.

I think with a large patch the submitter has to accept a certain amount of pain in resyncing it to the current trunk - 
this in itself demonstrates how serious they (and we) are about supporting it.  There is a need, I feel, to consider 
this carefully and not rush in to a decision.  This patch requires evaluation on both a raw technical and an 
architectural level - an evaluation that I hope to start helping with later on today.
