a) The patch isn't wrong.

b) Didn't you say, that your experience shows, that linux people never
   get anything fixed...as long as I understood your endless
   complaints about linux, Linus and such ... what was it? (has
   forgotten the details...if I heard the same thing over and over, I
   forgot it usually...saves me to get things fixed)

c) this list ist open for anyone, who subscribed. So let decide the
   rest of the gang, whether to apply the patch or not...
    
d) you are allowed not to apply it -- this is GPL.
