We welcome such testing, qualification and bug fixing; not a strict require= ment on submissions as far as I know. Some things won=92t work well withou= t a concerted effort, and I don=92t think it is fair to contributors to req= uire they learn Objective-C/C++ to make such a contribution. All we genera= lly ask for is that what works today, remain working. This usually just me= ans leave the existing hooks in and as code moves around, one has to move t= he hook around.
