I was trying to point to the larger problem.

MITM attack is as old as the Byzantian hills. Your rationale for doing "something right now" is apparently that you trust the people who maintain "kernel developers" browsers but mistrust the people who maintain some network links and switches. That's fine and you should set your policy accordingly. But you should not be surprised if others have different threat models -- especially when you fail to offer an actual case where this patch might have helped.
