I don't think it's a right message to send to agents and humans.
When the same mistake is made in N places the interface is the problem.
It should be fixed in one common place.
This text tells the agent to produce N spot fixes for N maintainers.
We already see this issue on bpf list, let's not amplify wrong behavior.
