It is NOT a patch for an issue, bug, anything on those lines at all. 
It adds new features to DDB. Specifically it adds relational 
operators. 

 Since it doesn't solve any problems, I don't see why it should be added 
to a problem database which is used for bug reports. 

But then again, it may be just me.
