I explained yesterday why your change is inappropriate and why I won't
be applying your patch.

It is not appropriate to send the same patch again with a different
commit message.

What might be appropriate is replying to my email and explaining your
side of the argument and why you think it is appropriate.

You must engage with other developers and discuss your change here on
the list if you want us to consider it still.

Thank you.
