You may doing so without realizing, but such a "why does the code not do X" question, especially without stating why you think the code should do X, gets irritating quickly. I think it is better to quote the arguments to echo to make it a single string, because ... would have helped the author of the patch. If this were one-off, I would have let it go, but I thought it may be worth commenting, as you seem to often ask this kind of "questions".
