Hmm...
Sorry, but I do not quite understand the flow of your logic here,
especially, how "but then I also realized" trumps "signing off a
patch is a conscious act---it would weaken the legal meaning if you
automate it", which was why we deliberately avoided adding this
configuration variable for the last 10+ years.
So, I dunno.
