As far as I know there are plans, but it's not high priority.
Anyway, when I apply your patch to rakudo and try to build it locally, I get
/usr/bin/perl -I/home/moritz/rakudo/parrot/lib
build/gen_objectref_pmc.pl src/pmc/objectref_pmc.template \
src/pmc/objectref.pmc
Could not open /usr/local/lib/parrot/1.0.0-devel/src/vtable.tbl: No such
file or directory at build/gen_objectref_pmc.pl line 108.
make: *** [src/pmc/objectref.pmc] Error 2
(Or do I need to apply the parrot patches as well?)
I'm quite sure that we want to continue to support building against a
not-installed parrot as well, because that's what the developers do ;-).
Cheers,
Moritz
