Doing it the simple but wrong way just because nobody seems to have bothered coding it the right way is highly unlikely to fly when you try to push it upstream. If you need/want this feature, implement RFC2894 (preferably correctly, but even a mostly-right needs-work variant would be better than doing it the wrong way). That's why we *have* RFCs - so everybody can do it the right way rather than inventing their own wrong way.
