If I were you, I'd leave the patch as-is and wait for Greg review. I was only reporting some words that I recall I read in some emails of Greg. But it is highly probable that those contexts were a bit different or that the statements were much more complex. As far as what my personal preference is, I think that you shouldn't care because I'm not one of the maintainers. Above all, even if I were one of the maintainers I'd never prevent developers to use their own style with this kind of statements. To summarize, you'd better leave the patch as-is.
