That's not what I meant to say. Those two patches are great separated.
You can invert them though.

This probably won't be the case whenever someone starts a new design,
and then they'll face random crashes for no apparent reason, and waste a
lot of time in the process.
Whereas the alternative is that you would be missing some OPPs,
something that is fairly easy to figure out.
