And you are of course a scarce resource too and I have noticed you have had difficulties to find time to support ECB as you want to. It is a common and serious problem and one we must fight if we want free software to succeed. The diversity hits the users too. As I have said I recently had a discussion with a long term GNU/Linux user who jump off to Windows 7 because the quality of the mid-level library was too low on GNU/Linux. The key factor was the diversity (too many libraries doing the same thing) which he thought creates this problem. I think solving this is urgent - and very, very difficult.
