I understand and I know this doesn't help now but how far away is the
Linux fix?

It is past the point where Linux needs to fix this before offline
devices are deployed that may still be running in 20 years.

Admittedly Pi HW/flash may not last that long from the irresponsible
suppliers that may develop such devices but the number will be
increasing.
