Well, as a new member on the Debian PHP team I could say that maintaining the patch took a lot of time. Each reported PHP problem was needed to understand whether it's because of the patch or not.
Also, the upstream for the patch isn't very nice/cooperative so we decided to skip it. Another issue is having future versions support, as (AFAIK) there's not PHP 5.4 version of the patch, which is a problem as we we work towards uploading it as soon as it becomes an official version.
