?????  What the heck does this mean?  I would bet that most larger 
installations of Linux or FreeBSD or any other open source OS would be 
considered non-standard.  Heck, I bet YOUR installation of FreeBSD 
could be considered non-standard.  Your statement  make absolutely no 
sense.

If the fix that you decry is a reasonable fix, who says it can't be 
rolled back into an "official" release.  This is open source after all.
