I however agree with Dscho that it is irritating when somebody uses URL= to avoid summarizing the issue himself. If somebody cares enough and understands the issues discussed at URL to come up with a patch that is worth applying, he surely should be able to summarize the primary idea = and issues involved in a few paragraphs. A summary of discussion in addition to URL would save everybody's time.
