I would welcome a system on my device that does not need patching. At all. Wouldn't it be luverly if people like coderus or Ancelad could focus their attention to writing proper applications instead of being constantly distracted by supporting dozens of patches? Who knows, we might even get a mobile device one can actually use, not just one that looks nice. But tinkering alone is the Linux way!
