Hmm... In fact it's worse.

He tried to get it merged but that did not work out (for a number of reasons, so it seems). But now he gave up the ambition and writes his code in such a way it will never get merged anyway.
 
His own FAQ is very explicit about this:
 
"
Why BFS?
 
Because it's designed in such a way that mainline would never be interested in adopting it, which is how I like it.
 
...
 
Are you looking at getting this into mainline?
LOL.
 
No really, are you?
LOL.
 
Really really, are you?
No.
