How often is "so often"? The vendor branch is over a year old and the 
bug that seems to annoy
most real users of bpf  has been known for quite a while longer and took 
a while to get into
the origin and now it only would need to be imported once.

Or is there some larger issues I´m missing or is everybody asking the 
same thing for
the same reason and a single update would "calm down" the chatter?
