NAK. Reasons:
* patch described as a fix; that implies that some behaviour
change is there. Yet there's no description of that change or
explanation of the problem being fixed.
* lack of _any_ explanations, period. Including e.g.
a discussion of the reasons why the change makes sense.
* apparent blind trust in continued applicability of comments
that date back to 2002; in any case, no analysis is offered anywhere -
reviewers are supposed to do that themselves, presumably.
* failure to Cc the original author of the comment in question.
