Then I'll try to maintain this patch as long as I'm able to

Another hotfix-addon I was wondering recently (at least for PW4+) was the serial console access.
New firmware, right after console startup executes /etc/upstart/custom-login:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

echo '--- SORRY, LOGIN IS DISABLED ON DEVICE ---'
# Disable Ctrl-C
trap '' 2
# Sleep indefinitely
while true; do sleep 86400; done
Because of that it's no longer possible to login from the serial connection.
So maybe purging custom-login would be a nice hotfix-addon (backwards-compatible and probably easier to maintain also )
