No, it is not dead but priorities should be given to bugfixes and to features 
for which a real need can be demonstrated for many wikis.

Considering feature requests for the Core, we need to follow the PmWiki 
philosophy #3. If the feature will not be usefull to and used by many wikis, 
it is probably better to consider writing an independent recipe for it. 
(Please do.)

For PITS/01046, you can probably use the following recipe :

You can send your request to the mailing list -- you just did! -- and if 
somebody wants (is able/knows how) to write the functions you want, they will 
reply to you.
