Yeah, I think "We agitated to make this the default in the upstream project" would be a fantastic way to solve this problem.
"We're providing builds that are patched to have better defaults" or "We're providing a git repository / config management host / something that has an always up-to-date config snippet" might also be okay, as would "Please check back to this blog post regularly". It's the static post that makes me sad.
