Right. It's not necessarily the case (could be an indeterminate future), but it is the case in this patch series. > That is something we want to say upfront, not "Also". Not from my point of view. Even if it didn't help in future steps, cleaning up code is generally desirable. Cheers. -- Felipe Contreras
