that would add back the granular menu of what X bits one wants to install. Or any other sysinstall patch that asks the user if they would like the Xwrapper installed.

Uh...

Isn't this like removing "ls" or otherwise damaging the base functionality of the system, and then asking for a patch to add a menu item to sysinstall to get that functionality back?

Don't get me wrong: I understand that the reason it was done was to provide increased security... but... security is always a trade-off between usability for authorised and unauthorized users.
