Why not do a proof of concept patch?  Even if it were only offered as an
optional patch on the ioq3 site, perhaps the large(?) community of 1.16n
players would get great use out of it.

Though I'm not sure that they'd care?  Even if ioq3 worked with 1.16n, it
wouldn't have PunkBuster support, which was a deal-breaker for the guy who
mentioned it.  Or was he saying that it'd need PB if they finished porting
the mod to 1.32?  You'd think that any servers that cater to 1.16n players
wouldn't mind running 1.32 servers with PB disabled anyway...
