If this cannot be booted, then there are no practical reasons - no one
will be able to develop on top of it.

The only way anyone could use it is to have additional patch on top, to
make it booting. Thus if you have already patches on top, which you need
to share with every team/person, then you can as well share this one.

What is the benefit for the community of having this patch in the kernel?
