Bitmain won't because that means actually writing code vs just stealing it.
As for the originator of the mess -- reading through the Halong Dragonmint thread I've seen mention of it handling failover better so...
Then again safe bet ck ain't working for Halong for free. I will say that he has been busy there -- he's been releasing firmware updates every week or so to get the mints closer to as-advertised spec the fools investomers believed and then threw money at Halong in typical pre-sale frenzy.

God forbid things he comes up with eventually appears in the git for cgminer so Canaan/Avalons can use it... Of course soon after BM's Ants would be using it as well.
