This is fully understandable too. But if I lower the threshold for you, I need
to lower it for everyone, and then I get swamped on a myriad of patches that I
can't push upstream.
The arm64 case might be a game changer if we can push 3rd party [0] BSD
patches directly, even if we need to get trough Lars each time.
[0] Read this as "not wrote by the person pushing it to gerrit"
