This is false.  Please provide concrete quotes without misinterpreting
other people's opinions.  There was nobody suggesting it.  In fact,
Aaron asked on IRC how hard would it be to add MSVC XML-based comment
parsing support.

I do not see a concrete proposal, just general remarks about
'factoring' without a concrete goal.

This is false.  There have been commits going in to this code all the
time.  Please take your time look through SVN history.
