I disagree, people who want to play can apply the code
to their tree.

It's as simple as that.

We have very reasonable requirements for segmentation offloads, if
they are not met, the feature isn't working correctly and therefore
isn't ready for upstream.

Now if someone can provide a fix soon, that's fine too.
