I do not consider bugzilla and phabricator to be "shadowy places";
therefore, I reject this argument.

Although I don't have statistics, AFAICT phabricator patches have a
better-than-even chance of going in.

But, in any case, a middle position would have been to commit this to
a vendor branch and publish instructions on how to grab it from there
and enable it.

I understand that -current will have regressions in it.  However, the
pendulum has recently swung in the direction of "free-for-all".  This
slows down (e.g.) my own work on -currernt such as testing arm boards
and trying to fix ports there.  ATM I'm not even *attempting* to do the
latter because I have little faith that any -current I bring in past
the one I'm locked down to (r333619 May 16 UTC 2018) will do anything
but burn my time trying to track down regressions.

tl:dr; I have enough work to do without trying to fix other people's
stuff.  If that's harsh, so be it.
