All patches should just fix real problems?
Yes.
This answer while it is correct needs to be qualified ;-)

A bugfix for end-user facing part of the system is obviously a fix for a
"real problem", but clean-up without changing external behaviour to reduce

"the code, while it might be bug-free, is error prone and costs a lot to
maintain".
