What outcome?  Yes technically your R-by is sufficient to get the patch
in, but you know very well there are open objections against this
version of the patch.

Also, you're actually in a position where you are reviewing your own
work, which is not how R-by is intended to work.

Furthermore, you will observe that there is an action item on me from
the call to come up with a less broken alternative which I'm genuinely
attempting to do.
