Please do NOT just show up with a changeset. It is a waste of your time and 
ours.
Send email to the client mailing list to discuss first.
The amount of attention needed to review these changes and test them is out of 
all proportion to the absolutely zero benefit to users. 
As client lead, I suggest you find changes that actually make the product 
better, not these where the only possible change anyone can detect is a 
regression.
Withdraw and close as will not fix.
