I had already tested (applied in one line with patch and curl, because
those I know how to use them) the change. It would still be less error
prone at that point to have the S&M button. As proof, look no further than
what actually ended up happening on this PR [1] during this discussion.

As a wish list item, It would be awesome to have an automated build that
would run at least through the checksum phase for PRs with just version #
and checksum changes.

Well, I vote for some education (guide section) plus enabling the squash
and merge button.
