We had the same discussion a few months ago for Stretch :).

Someone attempted it to fix it a few years ago but this never reached 
Linux upstream.
From my perspective, this is a low hanging-fruit as there are more 
concerning bugs that can't be workaround. But the problem is documented, 
so someone could easily pick it up if he/she wanted.
Cheers,
