No, but using the patch is better than using it not :-)

You wrote:
"The irony is that *many* of the small ways are tagged as footways, so
the bollards or barriers should be IMHO ignored reg. routing."

So your patch is a workaround which fixes many problems (great!) but 
which is not a general solution. So later on we should rethink the 
--link-pois-to-ways option to find a general solution.
