It makes the interfaces too messy. We are not in code freeze in -net -
only feature freeze, so no reason to make code like spagetty,
and it's only 25 lines changed as compared to 40.
It's not a huge refactoring.

It's just as easy to backport my patch too.
You just drop the goto in the new code path we added.

Let me show you (untested) - your patch is not smaller.
