   So the question is, should patches that are of value but not "the
   one true solution to the problem" be integrated into the mainstream
   kernel source and be replaced when something better comes along, or
   should everyone just have to wail until a perfect solution is
   ready?

I answered this question in my explanation, it shouldn't go into the
main sources until it is done as a correct and clean solution.
