No, this creates more work for all of us. Consider your code may have
bugs, then by applying this patch we will expose them to the users which
will cause bug reports we have to work on. Then we switch to
string_list_asprintf which may have bugs aswell.

I know you have limited time and for this reason you want to see your
patches upstream asap, but this can't be the excuse for delaying
cleanups as we *all* have limited time.
