Right. What I meant was two-fold:

  1. "I am not going to take your patch challenge, because I don't even
     seem to be running your man pager."

  2. It has been noted in this thread that this will only affect Linux.
     But it is even worse; it will only affect some distributions. So
     people need to get several implementations to agree.
