No, it's not changing much at all, though I wish it would. WRT this
patch, you'll note that the mail subject contains the magical
incantation [rfc] (didn't work). I care not one whit whether _my_ patch
gets sent upstream or to the bit bucket. I care only that the problem
gets solved, and preferably sooner than later.
