David, When I made the reply below I was rather tired and edgy. I would like to explain why I commented as I did and offer an appology for wasting your time and/or annoying you - that was never my intention. I try to participate constructively where and when I can and one of the ways I try to do so is by reading patches that people submit. Most of the time I'm not qualified to comment on them and I try not to. In this specific case I felt I knew the -stable rules well enough and could understand the patch well enough to offer up a constructive comment, so I did. My Intention was simply to point out that the patch *seemed* to fall outside what the -stable rules allowed, and my understanding was that the rules were there for a reason - to keep -stable patches to the very minimum required to fix bugs and only that. When you replied the way you did I got rather irritated by the fact that you chose to see it as an attempt to waste peoples time rather than see it how I intended it; as an attempt to help out by reviewing patches and point out any oddities/guideline-deviation I observed. I should have waited to respond and certainly not written my response while still being annoyed. I realize now that patches like this are acceptable for -stable, so I'll refrain from commenting on them in the future. I hope you can accept an appology and see that I did not intend to waste anyones time.
