I'd like to point out here that my own customers are already well
covered by the support services we offer. They will receive any such
fix very quickly.
My proposal was of assistance only to those without such contracts in

It doesn't bother me at all if you insist it should not be added. Just
choose v16 of the patch for review rather than v17.
