i'll have to read the Ubuntu launchpad thread a bit, but "no effect"
patches need to be clearly documented, etc because
(1) code stays in the kernel for a long time (years) and get modified,
re-factored, etc over time and one day somebody might need to
continue/modify/change a "no effect" patch and need to know why it was
included and what impact further changes.
(2) "no effect" really meant "no known effect" (yet).
