No, *not* better to leave this unpatched. abort()
here is the correct decision.

Volker, please stop treating anyone commenting
on your code as a human rights violation that
requires a revert of a perfectly good autobuild.

It's childish and prevents your code from getting
proper review as people start to dread your overreactions.

That's not professional software development which
we're all striving for here.

I will re-push the fix.

Thanks,

Jeremy.
