I agree.

Actually I prefer the other way around, I can first apply the test mode
patch and later someone can decouple the logic in a new patch. The code
size benefits that from all pretty small so I don't think it's sensible
to delay this patch. But decoupling the logic would be nice cleanup to
do.
