This is true at this time.

Yes. There have been multiple people interested in adding this
functionality. I have no plans to add the functionality at this time,
but will gladly take patches to integrate it, and assist developers on
it in any way I can. If anyone is looking to develop this functionality,
I highly encourage discussion via the mailing list and the IRC Channel
(irc.freenode.net, #featureserver).
