That's not like a lot has changed in that respect for the last 10 years and
I was in your spot at that time.

Such systems have always been there and we've had to tackle problems
with them regardless.

You seem to be disappointed that Yinghai has reported the problem at all,
given that the hardware is unreleased and so on, but problem reports,
even for systems like that, are what allows us to create code that works
for everybody, so we (the maintainers) appreciate them very much.

The bottom line, in any case, is that the current code causes problems to
happen somewhere and as a rule we don't release code that is known to
cause problems to happen to anyone.  This means something needs to be done
about that and the choice at this point is pretty much between reverting and
quirking the affected system(s).

I'm not a big fan of reverts, because they tend to reward bug reporters only
and disincentivize developers, which may be fine if those developers are paid
for their work, but really is not awesome for volunteers.  So I would add a quirk
even though more systems may be affected, but there's no evidence either
way right now.

That's a Bjorn's call, however.

Thanks,
Rafael
