Personally, I would go ahead and put in the mb patches (as bad as they
are), for the same reason we put them in Red Hat - working is better
than broken, no matter how ugly.

But, there isn't anyone who maintains Zvt who has looked at this and
made a decision.

We are going to have to figure out how to port the patch to libzvt
HEAD also, joy.
