? I don't get the relevance to the topic, sorry.

If the new patch is different enough to be considered new, Troy could indeed
request his SoB to be removed. If his patch is mainly improved, I do still

but as I said before, it really doesn't matter for this patch and is not worth
the fuzz here. Let's just go back to hacking :)
