I'm not trying to stir the pot so-to-speak; I'm just trying to figure out why nothing's happening with what many see as an important issue with the SQL Server driver for Drupal 7. This driver is maintained by the Commerce Guys.
There has been a major issue with the update from Drupal 7.12 to 7.14 and 7.15 for several months that was noted on these two reported issues:

http://drupal.org/node/1567380 (created on May 8, 2012 at 10:05am)
Drupal user "panmanphil" has created a patch that has worked for me and several other users so that we can all update our versions of Drupal to fix security holes and bug fixes, yet no one from the Commerce Guys community seems to have moved towards testing the patch themselves or committing to the SQLSrv Driver.
Why is this not being looked at by the maintainers of this driver? This patch is much needed by anyone trying to use Drupal 7 with SQL Server, so many of us are at a loss as to why this issue seems to be being ignored.
I've also posted something on this on the Commerce Guys' community forum to see if anyone can advise me on what's happening. My site isn't live yet, but this lack of attention is starting to worry me.

thanks for letting us know
Hi Jay - thanks for sending this out. A bunch of us are at DrupalCon - both MS and CommerceGuys so we'll discuss these open issues here and put a plan together to address these.
That would be great granola!
That would be great granola! I know that there are a lot of other frustrated users out there concerning this issue, so I really appreciate you bringing it up to the powers that be.
I figured that the maintainers of this module didn't want their own users to feel that this module isn't strongly supported and maintained, so fixing this issue would be a great step to alleviate those fears on an issue that's important to so many of their users.
Kudos for the quick response.
FYI: This patch was committed
