Many reasons may explain this:
 - The HP patch was a .... convenience, since we don't
   really support Elf64 format.
 - Hopefully we will find a way to make contributions externally
   instead of bloating this class.  Future enhancement.

But the real reason, ... we(I) did not see your email 8-(
Lesson .. it is a good thing to ping back when no reaction 8-)

Patch applied to the head.

Thanks.
