I'm trying to say that getting rid of the variables without changing
functionality might be wrong thing to do, for example in this case. It
looks like error handing is missing by mistake, and you are removing
traces saying that error handing is required here.

Dunno. Perhaps don't push patches where solution is not obvious?

Or push them but mark the place with fixme?
