After investigating a bit more, it seems that this is really only
an issue where people are using older bootloaders/managers and kernels, some
of which are still supported / used by big distros like redhat.

Given that this is, as you've pointed out, either a non-issue or easily
remedied without kernel changes now and in the future, we'll try
talking about it directly with any distro where it's still an issue.

Thanks,
