No, it wouldn't. Shoehorning the "fix" into Bitcoin would be lobbying for it's inclusion into Bitcoin. If you really think it's such a good idea, then create an alternate version of the client with the change. If people think it's a good idea, they will use that instead. That might not be such a great idea due to the possibility of forking the block chain, so maybe you want to create an alternate block chain instead with this and possibly other rule changes, and see how it fares in competition with Bitcoin. The code is open source, quit complaining and start coding.
