I don't know how often you use other versions of DOS (like MS or PC or DR or 
EDR or ...) compared to FreeDOS, but a TSR would solve the problem for all of 
them while modifying FreeDOS would only fix FreeDOS.  I personally prefer 
MS-DOS and mostly use others (including FreeDOS) just for compatibility testing.
I have been responsible for a lot of DOS boxes running 24/7 for the las 20+ years (peak was 100, now just a few)...

FreeDOS is much more stable then MS-DOS due ot:
1) Eric Auer did a nice job flushing files to disk which lowered considerably power failure problems 2) It is much better then MS-DOS for compatibility with modern machines, specialy big disks and memory

So I vote for implementing whatever is needed in FreeDOS's kernel. This way it will be more compatible with big disks too
