Sometimes customers come up with feature requests that are reasonable in the surface but would cost millions to implement and maintain. In that case, workarounds are one way to resolve the issue. > Even if it’s just a patch for that one customer only. Red Hat does not do one-off patches. If it's fixed in the product, it's fixed for everyone (including upstream). |

Yea I always check "why" and if the feature request is not already reasonably well motivated, I'll reach out to the customer and ask.
In my experience it's quite frequent a non-trivial feature or change request can be solved as well if not better by a simple, but different change instead.
Alternatively it allows me to see that three customers are asking for nearly the same thing, even though the feature requests make them sound quite different.
