I agree, and I think that's pretty much what we all said back in
October, and the patch hasn't been revised since then to match those
comments. Perhaps I'm in a grumpy mood today, but I've got enough
patches to review from people who are willing to revise their patches
in response to feedback to spend very much time on patches from people
who aren't. I realize that it can be frustrating to have to defer to
a committer when it's a 1-1 tie between you and the person with git
access - is that really a consensus? But in this case, 3 separate
committers weighed in on this thread to very politely give essentially
the same feedback and that is certainly a consensus. Not only was the
patch not revised, but the very idea that the patch might need to be
revised before further consideration was greeted with indignation.

Let's mark this Returned with Feedback and move on. We've only got a
week left in the CommitFest anyhow and there are lots of other things
that still need work (and which actually have been revised to match
previous feedback).
