Right.  It was ~450.   The SuSE team in particular has had reasonable
success getting fixes upstreamed -- I think Martin L indicated they'd
gotten a few dozen fixed upstream.

ISTM that fixing upstream is by far the best choice followed by fixing
with a Fedora patch.  Working around via an opt-out or modifying the
flags in a .spec file is the least desirable.
