I still think that the problem you fixed is simply not important, and
the problem that I actually might care about (the ad-hoc and
inconsistent rules) remains.

So the patch is just a "not important enough to care about" for me,
and if it comes in through Andrew I'll probably take it, but it's
merge-window material rather than anything else.
