In February there was a nice patch about a new parameter --auto-aq, which automatically decides the AQ Mode (2, 3, 4 or 5) for each frame using its scene statistics.

But this patch never made it into master. Does anybody know more why they did not pursue on that idea?
I quite liked that idea, so I made myself a customized version of HandBrake, that includes this patch. And it gives me nice results, good quality and much smaller files size. So, I don't really understand why this patch never made it into master.
