No.

Well, you are not the only one who contributed features ;)
We merged a lot of them and even more bugfixes. But our time is limited and 
all of us are working in their free time.

Unfortunately the patch is (code wise) not in a state that we want for 
TYPO3, nor can we rewrite it in short time.
Therefore we push it back in our priority queue.

I did not give you detailed feedback yet, therefor here in short:
We would like to have less arrays in TYPO3, but more objects. For an idea of 
what I mean, please take a look at the (merged) gridelements dataprovider 
patch and compare the revision from Olli with the one before that from Jo 
(~19-23?).

Eventually, we should aim to rewrite the whole backend login script and 
change that to fluid if possible. Maybe you can already start with that so 
we have a working version early next year?

Send me a PM if you need help.

In the meantime, you can xclass the login from class and override it inside 
your extension. This is not pretty, but I do not expect many changes in the 
login form code.
Watch out for some changes in the RSA handling that might come until final 
release.

Done.
