Oh, don't get me wrong. I do think what the patch does is very
sensible and have no intention of rejecting it.

Unless somebody finds a new bug in it, but in that case, we won't be
rejecting it but would be improving on it.

As I said, the question was "Just out of curiosity", since it's been
so long since I was in any part of software work done in Japan.
