The general feeling on this list is that patches are listened to, no
matter how foul they are, and you will get a (hopefully) polite
rejection if it is considered useless because it addresses a problem
that doesn't exist.

Suggestions that others do a lot of work is generally not listened
to.

Since you're the only one really interested in this, you'll be the
one doing the work. If you do that work well and submit your patch(es)
by the git patch submission standards, screening them for useless
code churn is but a moments work.

terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
