Sure, provided that there's someone who can be encouraged. Otherwise,
it's futile, isn't it?
But I didn't write what you cite above as a general proposal. I wrote
that specifically about this kind of bugs: I find it hard to believe
that we would consider such bugs critical, i.e. something with which
it would be unthinkable to release Emacs. You need to read what I
wrote keeping this in mind, and without generalizing it to any other
kind of bugs, particularly those that are really critical ones.

If #21422 is marked as a blocker, I will do the same for #22294. They
are in the same boat: extremely inconvenient, but not really critical.

It stopped being just your own option long ago. I'm using it, for
one.
Thanks.
