No, just lack of time

I'll contact upstream to request fixing this issue. I don't like the
dependency on sources. If upstream consider this include file to be
included bu third party code then we shall move it to fp-units-*

The fix of the view3dscene is already uploaded:
8caf191762bb29aaf560c92b9665fe9528ebb207

Then we can set priority to serious and upload cge again.

I'm really sorry for fast answers, but will discuss this probably
