The idea of this patch (which I copied, as in the LP bug, from Fedora) was to provide a stopgap option until the Linux kernel implements the equivalent. The reason was (or, I guess, still is) that some upstream source rely on this being available, and having the '-i' or '-p' would minimise our deltas. But I knew, from the beginning, that it would not be acceptable upstream. Perhaps with a confluence of all Linux distros that might happen, though.
