Distros are free to carry a patch such as yours. That puts the burden on them and not on upstream which is going in a different direction as outlined by Christoph.

Right, I understand. I submitted the patch in case they see value in having it upstream, as some distros discuss/ask about what's the status (or differences to) upstream. In some cases, a rationale like this one being documented on a mailing list is sufficient, provided the patch hasn't received other technical problems, for example.
