I think that is the reason for Stephen's position on DLNA support; he is happy that he has a DLNA driver plugin that should be compliant, but there are so many DLNA devices out there, he would spend far too much of his time fixing/compensating for bugs in other people's DLNA implementations, which are not his responsibility. Black-box debugging of other people's code is very, very hard.
I think that's a very sensible approach...
