You can turn the question upside-down:

Is is really that overwhelmingly difficult to add or change about four
lines of C and make qmail behave in a sane way and eliminate the need to
add such a twisted piece of code to every program using VERP on this
planet?

If I (DJB) want to keep my program (qmail) as small and clean as possible
to avoid bugs etc., I should not force other people to make their programs
bloated, should I?
