Alexei, I'm sorry you don't like the way that the Open Source community does things. I would suggest that if you don't care to get source patches that you pay the $1000 per year per server to BSDi to put your servers under a FreeBSD service contract. I'm quite sure that if you do this that BSDi will be more than happy to supply you with all the binary patches that you want. Besides that, the BSDi service contract is a bargain at $1K per server, compared to a service contract on anyone else's stuff, be it Microsoft, or Sun or whatever.
