Patch

I am writing this ticket because it was suggested that I shouldn't be modifying
other committers' sandboxes without RTC with 3 votes.  I think this as a
steadfast policy without common sense "good judgment" exception is a
counter-productive waste of time for the following reasons:

* I am permitted to use good judgment in changing anything outside of the
sandbox with CTR instead of RTC as this is trunk.
* felicity has clearly not been participating for a long time, and he has
failed to respond to my private request to make this change.
* Any of us can plainly see that this change is negligible and absolutely safe.
* If this is truly policy, my options are either to quit, or to file an
annoying ticket on every trivial, obviously correct change.  Isn't common sense
a better policy?

What exactly are people afraid of?

I hereby give permission for any other committer to change anything in my
sandbox if their personal judgment deems it is safe and not counter to the
intent of my rules.  I trust you not to introduce breakage in my sandbox.  I
don't expect for this to ever be a problem, but if I disagree with your change
then we can talk about it.

Under protest, I post this negligible patch for review and votes.
