Hi Cédric,

I think it simply didn't occur to us so far. Go ahead and request
inclusion in upstream! Isn't it possible to add the method for the
svgsalamander Fedora package?

Alternatively, you could provide a workaround, so we no longer need to
patch the library. (E.g. it should be possible to override the access
modifier using reflection.)
