I don't think he'd do that.  If Wayne starts using other people's code, 
there may be copyright problems, since he's getting all the money for it.
Look at the Quote mod for example... I've been using Goose's version for 
a long time, but the new official quoting implemented in 4.21a is nothing
like it.  (I'm still using Goose's... since most editors can't yet handle
the "official" version).
