The thing is, that's not an argument when we know that the current
state is garbage and has a lot of these non-trivial side effects that
are bad.
So the patch by David _fixes_ a non-trivial bad side effect.
You can't then say "there may be other non-trivial side effects that I
don't even know about" as an argument for saying it's bad. David at
least has numbers and an argument for his patch.
