No, it hasn't.  There were some concerns that this patch is invalid and may
not work in some situations -- it uses an "incorrect" way of getting network
interface statistics which, however, happens to work with g_ether.  No one
got to implementing the worker solution, so as of my knowledge, this is the
only working patch.
