That's what it does; I get that. However nothing tells me why I should
care about it. IOW, its a solution without a problem, and I tend to
ignore those -- saves a lot of time on my end.

See; now you're starting to make sense. You cannot have a patch if you
don't have a problem. And this series didn't have a problem to solve.

As for the latter; that's a feature for many people I'm told.
