How about an "ugly patches" repository? Some central place for patches which solve problems but are not esthetically pleasing. There would be multiple benefits; those who want a fix and don't care if it will go forward can get their system working, the ugly patch will remain as a flag that the problem needs to be properly fixed, and the content of the patch may help someone else understand and beautify the solution or come up with a whole new solution based on better understanding.
