@Philip: Thanks Philip for clarifying that your comment was
intended to be informational, rather than a condition for
merging this patch.

@Sean: I decline to make this change, as doing so would
encourage counterproductive behavior within the community.
The patch is ready to be merged. (Heavy nitpicking on small
details, especially for simple patches, makes contributors
hesitate before submitting future work.)
