Can you explain the exact detailed rationale behind this patch? Like
URLs or other info that explains *why* we are doing this, what
problems it causes if we don't, etc?
Otherwise there is no reference point for a review. Other patch types
like new features have syntax we can discuss and check, performance
patches have measurements we can check. With this, it is just "we add
some checks". No idea if that is all the places we need, or whether
there is a better way of doing this, or whether anyone cares if we do
this or not.
