This is not a reason for it to be considered to stay. Even aside from
systemd intentionally not supporting anything but glibc and therefore
always requiring patching to build, avoiding a one-line patch to a
single package regardless of it's importance is not going to be a
reason. The motivating factor here is the scale of work imposed on
people preparing distributions or their own system integrations --
whether they'd be able to take care of the problem with a handful of
easy patches, or fighting with many tens or hundreds of packages
needing attention to get them building again.
