Sounds reasonable to me.  It doesn't matter much.

I didn't say "condition", I said "it may be a good idea".  Agreed in not 
in this patch.

The other bit in all of that is that, guess what, some people with solid 
track records, like yourself, I generally trust to do things mostly 
right, and so I don't actually scrutinize quite as in depth as I would 
patches from other people.  Every now and then it means I stumble upon 
something later after I have thought about it more.  This is by and 
large fine.
