Fair point. I withdraw my categorical -1 vote and replace it with the
statement that the patch hasn't been sufficiently-carefully checked by
the patch author or other reviewers for bugs to consider committing it
-- nor has anyone taken the trouble to list with precision all of the
places where the behavior will change. I think the latter is
absolutely indispensable, which is why I started to compile such a
list in my previous post. The former needs to be done as well, of
course.
