Possibly, yes.  I haven't looked at the code, so I can't whether I'd
like it or not, and we'd want someone willing to maintain it.

AFAIK, it's more subtle than that.  So I think he'd be perfectly OK if
we used his code.  But for some reason, we seem to have trouble agreeing
on maintenance, so we'd need someone to very actively maintain it.
