Sometimes I come across a change that's been accepted and sit there for ages scratching my head wondering if I am completely missing something, because the patch makes absolutely no sense to me and I cannot figure out why multiple people think it is fine.

@ljs Usually there's something I am actually not understanding or some unexplained reason for doing things as they are (so poor commit message) that everyone less knows or w/e. This time, I think the change just is wrong. Project maintainer is good and (usually) responsive, so I'm sure it'll be explained to me if actually don't get it.
