If this is the case (as hinted to by another poster later in the therad as
well, who mentions that the library is exactly the same as when it was first
submitted), then I see no reason to review it at all, and then this becomes
a moot discussion.

Assuming all that info is correct and John is no longer around, then I would
only support reviewing this library if Andrey's is rejected.
