No, you haven't. Not as far as I can see.

No thanks.
Based on your description and the definition
of `dired-cursor-goto-meaningful-line' in your
patch, I disagree strongly with this change.
Currently users need not do anything to be able
to move to file, directory, and dir-header lines
with `n' and `p'. Those lines are as actionable
as any others; they should not be skipped over.
That behavior should remain the default. Users
should not need to do anything to have `n' and
`p' move to header lines. Making users customize
an option just to get the longstanding (and only
useful) behavior would be a big step backward.
And it would be for no gain. AFAIK, no reason
has been given why `n' and `p' should skip over
header lines.
`dired-cursor-goto-meaningful-line' must default
to `t'.
>From my point of view it need not (should not)
even be offered as an option: the `t' behavior
should just be all there is.
Have you - has anyone - given any reason at all
why `n' and `p' should ever skip header lines?
I don't think so.
(And there's no need for "cursor" in the option
name. That's implicit in going to a line.)
