Yes, that's true. But the only other option is not use the hardware.
Not using the hardware is a valid option and so far no veto from any
other dev.
But I'd still rather endorse a notation in the ToH and the wiki than
just prevent the patch from being accepted.
Forget about it! People don't read. Instead we will be flooded on all
public and private (!) channels with request for help similar to:
- how to install LEDE on the board
- where to get the custom bootloader
- i bricked my board help! help!
It is good and necessary to look out for the naive beginner (as we all
were at one time). But, at the same time, there is value in supporting
the wisened and experienced user who can go to some extra effort and
undertake some risk for a particular purpose.
Well, your patch can be now found by $searchengine and anyone how is
brave enough, can add support for this board to a local clone.
I'm perfect fine with the decision made by Piotr. If it is to hard to
get LEDE installed on a board/to error prone, we do not necessarily need
to add support for this board to a target with > 100 already supported
boards of all kinds.
