Funny, never realized that before, but you're right.

Yes, i agree. I would like to mark this patch "Ready for Committer", if 
that's okay for you (since you are a committer you might want to commit it 
yourself). Given that there's still some discussion in progress, i'm not 
sure about it, however. The patch itself looks fine to me and I'm traveling 
this weekend, so i don't want to hold it off as long as necessary.
