I doubt it. The Almighty Granola Bar is very big on putting stuff in game that he swore would never be in game. I have a nice big post about it over there somewhere.
I don't think Diet Granola Bar was actually being all that unreasonable in what he was looking for (assuming I'm reading this right and his initial issue was including it as a feature, not a packaged mod), and looking over the PR, it seems like he gave reasonable input to a new programmer and suggested a way for him to set his own goal posts. Then things got a little hostile and he began dickery.
Anyway, that's my opinion. Don't really feel like starting an argument with you fine folks over something I really don't care about in the end.
