I explained this before. If everything goes right (i. e. if reviewers
find enough time for a careful review) we will start asking questions
when we see a file being added that is the more or less exact copy of
an already existent one. When  we  have  already  two  semi-identical
copies and someone attempts to add a third, we can be sure that there
is a trend, and we will ask to factor out the common parts.

Your submission triggered such a cleanup. Your patch was the straw
that broke the camel's back.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
