Honest reason why there should be a faster tanning option of some kind:
The tanning "bug" allowed beginners to get the leather to set up a palisade relatively quickly. With the current system, beginners have to have their stuff unstolen for 24 hours (after drying even) before they can attempt that. Even with a gateless roundpole fence, it's not hard to just bash in and steal their leather anytime they try.
That said, I'd rather see it not in some buggy abuse form, but instead in an effort intense activity. Make there be some kind of "processing" step that eats a tonne of stamina and/or crafting action time which makes the leather tan quickly. Quick enough that someone in need of quick leather (noobs or someone who didn't plan properly) has an effort intensive solution to that need.
