Thank you Greg, I appreciate your time and comments. I will be applying 
your feedback to future patches, and the explanation makes perfect 
sense. Sorry for the inconvenience.

There may also be some confusion with me saying Shuah offering to test 
them. For some context, Shuah told me about this fix after she noticed 
it on her machine and gave me the opportunity to make the patch. The 
offer to test them was given to me along with it, but I don't believe 
the tests were done on each of the stable trees yet.

I'm writing to make sure these patches are added responsibly.
Feel free to ignore if this isn't a problem. Thank you again.

Respectfully,

Adrian Yip
