No, you're being clear. But you'll need to go back to the thread where you
submitted your versifications to see why they have not been added to the
code base yet. That is not a decision I can make - it needs to be made by
someone with the permissions to maintain that portion of the code. I don't
keep track of what is in the versification schemes, nor do I have the
ability to manage what is there. That's a specialized skill and knowledge
that others maintain.

Until it gets approved by someone with that responsibility and added to
Subversion, it won't be part of any release. I am authorized to release the
code that is present, not to change or update what code is in the engine.
