I'm working on a patch for the ITX that includes this change, as Wolfgang requested, so it's no big deal.

I think that's just going to make more work for Wolfgang and not solve any real problems.  Patches aren't completely independent of each other - sooner or later he's going to get patches that apply to one tree but not the other.

Anyone who's really interested in unapplied patches can scan the mailing list archives.
