Agreed. I'm not very concerned about getting patches in that may break something, even if it may not be immediately obvious at the time. I would much rather roll patches back instead of agonizing that every last bit of a given patch meets some impossible standard of perfection.

I do not have an opinion on this particular patch as I have not followed this thread closely enough. I just wanted to offer my vote about making patch acceptance as painless as possible. There is sufficient testing spread around, that detecting bad commits is rarely the problem.


Diego.
