I look forward to reading your patch.

I didn't offer one.

On one hand you admit you don't know what the problem is, yet on the other you assert you know what you are talking about. Both can't be right.

But that only tells us the problem that you feel needs addressing and how you've chosen to tackle it.

It doesn't tell us how you think that scenario might come about; nor what other solutions have been considered.
