I understand, but can I at least push for reverting this patch?

* It is trying to accommodate a new way of using :custom-face which
has never been possible in any version of use-package included in
Emacs.

* In the process, it breaks a way of using it which has worked
perfectly well in the past.

* It makes it impossible for any simple workaround to support the
existing use case, while trying to support a new use-case that can be
accommodated without the patch with a simple work-around.

If we can't agree on how things should work, why not just go with not
creating a regression? I don't think the behaviour this patch
introduces is obviously "more correct" so doesn't it make sense to
stick with the status quo? I would be happy to create a documentation
patch explaining how to accomplish what the patch author wants, but
without breaking things for existing users as this patch does.
