Which is of course fine, but since ReactOS has no use for it, why commit it? It isn't needed to meet the goals of ReactOS.

I don't agree with this sentiment at all. We've always before been proactive about implementing at least visible parts of the API to make it more likely that applications we didn't know about would have a chance to work. I think that's a reasonable way to work, especially if you're working in an area you've got a good understanding of.
I agree with arty! I'm sick and tired about this anti-Reactos points of view! It's obvious now, we have some developers not interested in making Reactos work with other applications.
What's the point in making ReactOS work with all applications if people are too scared to use it because of the methods used to implement it?
I don't see people afraid of using IBM products... or installing ATI/NVIDIA drivers... or installing Norton Antivirus...actually, quite a lot of people and big corporations use IBM software on their ATI videocard, while protected by NAV.
