I don't see real benefits, we can go either way, so, not worth rewriting
the patch.

I feel like a stupid reviewer:)
Huh? If anything, a stupid review on a design-changing patch would be a
plain “R-b” without having actually considered the impact. You do
consider the impact and question it in all places.
I don’t think I need to mention this, but that’s a very good and
important thing to do, because it forces me to reason why we’d want this
or that design. Without being questioned, I wouldn’t have to reason
about that. (Which may be a problem in our patch workflow – authors
don’t need to reason unless questioned.[1])
Sorry if I gave the impression of dismissing your comments. It should
be my burden to reason why I took certain design decisions.
No problem. I should better describe reasons for my suggestions as well, or
if I have no one, mark it as "thinking-out-loud" instead of recommended change.
