You know, you make comments like this pretty much every time anybody
suggests that you should change anything in any patch you write. It
doesn't matter whether the change is suggested by Heikki, or by
Michael, or by Andres, or by me. You pretty much always come back and
say something that amounts to "changing the patch I already wrote is a
waste of time". That gets a little disheartening after a while. This
community's procedure is that patches have to be reviewed and reach
consensus in order to get committed, and in my opinion that is
generally not "dumb" but rather something that enhances the end
result. I value your contributions to the community and I hope you
will continue making them, but I don't like it when people call my
ideas dumb.
