Instead we should apply a revert to the original patch and Nikita could
refine it. Have additional questions e.g. why the constant is declared
instead of just exit 4? The commit message long description also fails
to document any sane reasoning for anything.

It is not enough to response the reasoning to me here. It needs to be
in the commit log. This is terrible.

It is obvious there has not been any kind of sane review process in
place.
