I'm not sure I'm following your logic.  The only discussion with you
about scroll bars I found in the archives is the one that started
here:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-01/msg00525.html
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-01/msg00549.html

In that discussion, you asked technical questions about the
implementation of scroll-bar support in Emacs, on X and on MS-Windows,
and I answered your questions by pointing to the relevant functions
which implement that support.  At no time in that discussion you
proposed something, let alone some code, that was rejected.  What am I
missing?
