I imagine that there can be a need to provide the desired software adjustment
as a patch series with two separate update steps.

* Deletion of inappropriate function calls

* Optimisation of exception handling

How do you think about to refer to the affected function
(instead of the hint “error handling path”) in the summary phrase?
