That seems like an unhelpful attitude. Debian is a mainstream
platform, and no doubt feels that they have important reasons for what
they are doing.

That's not to say that I'm against the patch, but I don't believe it's
right to treat the concerns of mainstream Linux distributions in
anything less than a serious manner.
