I did not realize you felt this way, but it is nice to hear.  How do
you square this view, though, with your recent inclusion of the
Monticello 1.5 patches?  These patches change the core image so much
that their author says the word "patch" is not an adequate word to
describe them.

I would think that, for a developer's universe compatible with 3.10,
we need to also use the standard version of Monticello, whatever that
version may end up being.
