To be honest (as someone who hasn't yet posted to this topic): You 
sounded very much like "we don't want to merge this" with "we" as in 
"the core devs". It wasn't really clear (at least to me and maybe some 
others as well) that you only spoke for yourself.

And regarding Graeme's comment about Unicode String support: I believe 
that was meant in a sarcastic way.
