The patch is already touching every other line.  Making the change
into a replacement of solid block into another solid block would
probably make the resulting patch easier to read.

And by doing so, the submitter demonstrates to reviewers that they
_care_, as such an attention to detail is a sign that the submitter
thought the ramifications of changing an early die() into an
assignment that keeps going.

So, yes, it does matter.
