Would you prefer that I try to incorporate all these comments and
submit another patch, or are you going to modify it in-tree?
I prefer to not munge other people's patches if the modification will
involve more than ten lines and if I know the original submitter can be
trusted to do the right thing.
I would rewrite other's patch myself heavily _only_ after I tried the
usual "suggest to improve" and found that it would not be worth my time to
wait for yet more rounds that would require more suggestions, major part
of which will eventually be forgotten or ignored again, iow, when I sense
that the communication with the contributor is hopelessly inefficient.
Needless to say, you have been here long enough to be in the "trusted"
category.
Thanks.
