> Are we trying to improve the code or not?

Do you want me to apply your patch or not?

I want to see the most minimal code change necessary to fix the bug,
so we can easily backport it to -stable releases etc.

If you want to perform a variable name or other similar cosmetic
improvement, you can send a follow-up patch that does so.

Thank you.
