The added workload came from confusion created when I reviewed the code :)

Therefore I considered it better to have to less confusing version of 
the code in my tree for future reviews, and ideally have the less 
confusing version of the code in upstream as well.

I can remove the boilerplate paragraph from the patch description, if 
that's your main complaint.
