I think this whole topic is another piece of evidence for the,
"Not everyone should be running -current" case. All of the development
plans for yarrow and its ancillary pieces have been discussed ad nauseum,
and yet some people still refuse to even come within pissing distance of a
clue.
If the harvesting bothers you THAT much, submit patches or install
4.2. While I tend to be rather impatient regarding things like broken
builds or prolonged instability on -current; things like this that are
A) directly related to ongoing development, B) temporary, and
C) improving, are part of the price. If it's too much of a price to pay,
help fix it (the right way) or run another branch.
