Well... maybe.

There is no end to the amount of code which we could add to the kernel
to help userspace developers and administrators resolve userspace bugs.
But that doesn't mean that we should add all these things to the
kernel.

If there's some reason why the problem is particularly severe and
particularly hard to resolve by other means then sure, perhaps explicit
kernel support is justified.  But is that the case with this specific
userspace bug?
