I already said on the jira issue that I preffer not to add this.
And cordova iOS 4.X.X breaks on iOS 6 and older, so it's a matter of time
that you will have to update to cordova iOS 4 and you won't be able to
support that versions.

But the truth is the PR is very simple and won't make any harm to add it.
It will need the changes I commented on the issue.
