This seems to be a rather poor decision making process: "Are the users
happy with the new feature? If so, then apply the patch." It leads to
unmanageable code.
Which is why we don't do things that way. The code must fit within the
general architecture before application -- particularly if it's an
internal API change. That's what the review process is for.
