This is fully understandable too. But if I lower the threshold for you, I need to lower it for everyone, and then I get swamped on a myriad of patches that I can't push upstream. The arm64 case might be a game changer if we can push 3rd party [0] BSD patches directly, even if we need to get trough Lars each time.
