Yes. They are coming because of a commit which removed Result node on
top of an Append node. I don't remember exactly which.

I wouldn't worry about those diffs at this time. As I have mentioned
in earlier mails, the expected output from 0006 is quite large and is
not supposed to be committed. So, I don't see much value in fixing the
plans in that output.

Do you see that as a hindrance in reviewing the code changes and tests in 0005?
