Requires a fork of the glibc 2.36 patched with that very "legacy" component. May have specific security/performance concerns, depending on context. 

Finding a dedicated maintainer is presumed to be unfavorable in the case of Void Linux, due to small manpower pool. 

Lastly, is it legitimate for upstream to bend the knee to maintain deprecated components and accumulate technical debt and security concerns, all because who should be doing updates refuses to do so?

Maybe more of a shim would work, but that's on Proton to do. 

Or maybe upstream glibc will deliver an hotfix in the coming weeks, and all points will become moot.
