but this means that the patch will rot over time because i686/aarch32 is usually not tested when updating packages.

I'm not sure what the right solution is here. It seems like that patch is already rotting a little over time: nodejs/http-parser#526.

There is a case to be made that, given the general lack of upstream development, the "cleanest" path is to just only enable it when it's needed, since there's no clear upstream resolution for how to address the patch's own edge cases and failures on other architectures.

It's worth noting that in this case I updated the package because https://zh.fail/ listed it as having 28 dependents. Also, I doubt that this patch would break with later updates of http-parser package because it's officially deprecated and unlikely to have updates (nodejs/http-parser#522).

We probably want to target staging-next here.
