The alternative is to try to include a patch which has seen limited
testing and insufficient review into code which is shipping in a matter
of days. Yes, leaving your machine broken isn't ideal, but the risk of
breaking many (many) other machines which currently work OK is not good
either.
We'll get the patch tested, reviewed and merged shortly, at which point
it will be included in a stable .39.x release, which Linux distributions
are generally happy to pick up.
