It was me who asked to get Mathematica added.

I used the default priority. 11 months later, I got an email confirming the 
priority had been reduced. I then sent a response back saying that given it has 
taken a year at the default priority, being in my forties I expect I would be 
dead before it was implemented at the reduced priority.

Mathematica was added as a programming language a few days later!
