9 Sorry Jeremy, I realise that it's part of a patch that failed. What I
10 failed to understand is why Fabian decided to cut & paste the import
11 process and show that something failed patching did an edit on it and
12 then further went on to commit it.

14 It'd be much easier to understand if Fabian just said "o.k. done, but
15 it's untested".

23 bugs can also get easily forgotten, and need pinging from time to time
