I am fine if this is included in this change.

My gut feeling says we need to keep it. I can't recall the reason now
and want to send out this answer ASAP. Anyhow, this definately would be
a seperate patch. If you really want to, send a patch, and then I have
to think why we still need it ;)

Yes, makes sense.

> Do you want me to integrate this patch in the previous one?

Nope, please keep it seperate.
