Hi David,
Thanks for the comment!  I'll remove the 3 lines.

May I know if you have more comments?

BTW, during the past month, at least 7 other people also reviewed
the patch and gave me quite a few good comments, which have
been addressed. Though only one of them gave the Reviewed-by
line for now, I guess I would get more if I ping them to have a look
at the latest version of the patch, i.e., v19 -- I'm going to post it
with the aforementioned 3 lines removed and if you've more 
comments, I'm ready to address them too. :-)

Thanks,
