Tell them to fix their broken systems instead of shifting this broken
crap upstream.  Really, we bend over backwards for consumer hardware
that doesn't know better.  We don't add crap for vendors that absolutely
should know better participate in the working group and only provide
expensive enterprise hardware just because they pay you.  If you have
so little spine that you want to accommodate this intentionally broken
behavior do it in your tree but don't force the burden on others.
