So no one is left who actually can apply and distribute the
patch (which shouldn't be that difficult, as it's only one package);
the /hipster community up to now has served only itself for the
purpose of porting the complete OI userland to gcc, and now, as
the pressure is rising, is trying to reorganise to take over /dev
to actually make stable and useable production releases.
This will take time, but I'm completely with you that a patch
for /dev/ should be made available as fast as possible, so the very
first task is to actually get access to the /dev/ infrastructure
to get at least something started.
