I prefer a well written program that doesn't require expensive bodges
to keep my data safe. What's your point?

Maybe, but is that really how upstreaming works? I'm a Fedora user,
therefore I'm reporting a bug to Fedora. Is it not from there the
responsibility of the distro package maintainer to see to it that the
fix is pursued upstream?
Well, I'm the maintainer & also active upstream, so I can handle it, within
the confines of triage I need to do. My plate is rather full. Since
you have the hardware, the passion and the knowledge, if you'd like to
help upstream, that'd be great too!
