Again, throttle your patch sending please Markus as it will save
everyone time. I try to give full reasoning in each patch because
others may encounter them without having visibility of similar
patches posted at the same time. As such I end up writing
the same thing multiple times wasting my time on top of the time
you have already wasted by sending out multiple patches of a type
I am going to reject..

This reduces readability of the code for a very minor gain.
Printing an error message is not a source of bugs or similar unlike
unwinding some state, so a unified path makes little sense.
