Comment (by timlinux):

 Hi Greg

 As an open source project, we cannot mandate what our developers work on.
 In planning a release we need to look at the features & bugfixes that have
 been implemented up to a certain point in time and use that as the basis
 for a release. If a given feature / bugfix is not implemented at the point
 of going to release, we need to make hard decisions.

 Furthermore since kakadu is not freely available there is higher than
 normal barrier to entry to resolving your issue. I was not aware that the
 kakadu author had offered a copy of his sources to QGIS for us to test
 with. If this is the case I would certainly be happy to test on the Linux
 platform as probably would Peter Ersts. However resolving the issue on the
 OS X platform I suspect will take additional input from William and or
 Frank Warmerdam. Neither myself or as far as I know, Peter Ersts have an
 OS X development platform to test the issue on at this stage.

 Perhaps William will find your kind bug bounty offer an incentive to look
 at this problem further.

 Once again let me state that we are not unsympathetic to your desire to
 have the issue fixed and it was only moved to 1.1 for pragmatic reasons
 rather than any desire to dismiss this ticket as a non issue.
