Is it possible to back-port the dynamic display block module to Drupal 5?

To give an idea about the time and effort needed to develop a module like the dynamic display block module here a summary: Making the functionality we have now for the dynamic display block module for Drupal 6 including documentation took us more than 2 month of work. Additional support and bug fixing not included. Back-porting to Drupal 5 with the functionality of the current version would take between 100 to 200 hours is my expectation. Then also documentation and bug fixing/support. I hope with this summary we gave a little bit more insight how much time and effort it takes to make a module like this. Back-porting the module will only be done in the following circumstances: • Someone volunteers to backport the module and supplies a patch in the issue queue. • Adequate financial support is provided by the community. • We need it for a client or one of our own sites.
