Didn't someone from the NixOS community try to upstream changes like this at one point? @peterhoeg do you have any recollection on that?

I also see no reason why such a patch ever could be rejected, if it was.
If I were the maintainer I'd merge it with swiftness 😄

Also update our downstream patch.

We cannot claim /etc/os-release ref vmware/open-vm-tools#35 (comment) for NixOS (well, we can if we do the patching on our side but it will not be accepted by upstream).

Upstream is terribly non-responsive as a proper fix was discussed in 2015 by @wmertens which to this date hasn't been even been acknowledged.
