  I refuse to be bound by such arguments. We just can't accept this, if 
someone ships a mofified version before it got agreed upon upstream, they
perfectly well know that they are putting their users at risk and will have
to sort the mess later. That's the rule of development in our whole ecosystem.
A patch has to be reviewed by its technical merits. If someone ships a 
patched version and upstream uses something different in the end they will
have to keep another patch to preserve the compatibility. People should push
things here quickly, if we are not quick enough, feel free to complain
publicly, but please don't play with the end users.
