It is, but I'm not so sure I don't agree with Steve. I'm not sure this
actually makes things better. At a minimum, I would argue that Bart's
fix is mandatory before they would get my ack. I would also request
that even though the patches are split up for review, they be squashed
on commit (whoever would want to tackle this monstrous pile of dubious
janitorial stuff).
