The patch is not buggy, the only issue complained was my own (see more at 
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865 ).
And the reason is known - LED's highlighting confilcts with the patch, 1) it 
can be safely avoided, 2) it is just a little tech problem which can be done.

I start to think it is a discrimination.

No xkb2 writing is required! My first suggestion was to add my patch as
configuration option; so the default installation of Xorg works as
expected, and there is no spec contradiction. If a user wishes he(she)
turned that option on/off as one of many others you can see in Keyboard
Preferences.

xkb2 waiting is just 'when pigs fly' excuse.
