NACK again! There is no reason to do this, it just makes
the code more complicated without gaining anything. As already
commented by Antonio Ospite your commit message lacks the why of
this patch / the reason to do such a patch. The diffstat clearly
shows it is adding code not removing / simplifying it and it
so doing so without any good reasons!

Regards,

Hans
