Sorry but I'm going to hijack this thread. If this is acceptable to you then why can't you just add a slew of other libs to harbour (mpris, mediakeys).
If what you officially supported was rocksolid stable and no bugs and mpris had issues you might have had a case but I can tell you that gpodder was patched to work with mpris in 2017 the code was not modified since then and it's still working today, seemingly more stable then "officially supported" libs.
