Yeah, it's just extra work. Someone does the editing, posts a patch, someone else reviews is, checks it in, makes an upstream patch, upstream looks a it, applies it, weeks later it trickles back, so we need to remove it from our patch set, etc. Maybe it even breaks someone's patch context, causing more work and introducing a patch order dependency, and so on. Takes a few minutes out of everyone's lives for no good reason. - Werner
