Arguing that your needs outweight mine because you have customers
ain't gonna fly... I don't care about your customers and why should I?
I'm not getting any money from them.  Nor do I make any money from
Linux kernel though as an IT person, I support Linux all day long.  Do
my requirements get listened to as well?

If your customers wnat this feature, you're more than welcome to fork
the kernel and support it yourself.  Oh wait... Redhat does that
already.  So what's the problem?   Just put it into RHEL (which I use
I admit, along with Debian/Mint) and be done with it.
