Correct. IMHO every patch, trivial or not, deserves to be
questioned. If you want to avoid getting drawn into discussions
about trivial things but want to concentrate about the
'important' things instead, then the solution is trivial: simply
don't propose patches for stuff that you feel is not important.

Despite your claim to not want to waste people's time, Volker,
this propose-withdraw behaviour wastes a lot more time of a lot
more people than allowing technical discussions even for
seemingly trivial patches ever could. :-)

And in this case it was not 100% trivial even.  The question was
justified. And a single reply or two could have just explained
your deeper motivations.

Cheers - Michael
