But that would be a problem upstream as well, no?

There's a difference between a problem that gets introduced in normal
development tracking upstream and something that gets dropped into a
stable release, we don't want people deciding that stable is something
they can't just take en masse without really looking at what's in there.

Sure, but I don't see any work upstream on trying to correct this?

These sort of things are a reason why users stick with the same kernel
for years, which is what we'd like to avoid.

I'll drop this for now...
