That was already done once.  The problem isn't distro adoption.  The

because they don't solve every possible threat model or they don't
like the implementation.

If it was one of the usual upstream nackers like EWB then simply have those or him come up with the solution to the problem. If he or they cant ( or are dumb enough to think they can cover/secure every use case out there which is like chasing the rainbow, fighting war on drugs et basically mission impossible ) then obviously he or they have to accept this until something better comes along ( from themselves or someone else ) or he or they nack this again and distribution ( In this particular case Red Hat since it's maintaining the kernel in Fedora is a paid job not community one ) will be forced to make a choice of committing resources to maintain this indefinitely or drop this altogether.
