Another thing that I mentioned in another version of the patch series but not on this one (since the relevant patch was removed) is that this variable is only needed temporarily; it can be removed by further code reorganization. So, I don't think it makes sense to change more code than necessary for the sake of this variable (that might very well disappear). -- Felipe Contreras
