Is this really needed? For the large majority of the stable patches, specifically enumerating this isn't a big deal, it's a tiny patch, and if you think I'll remember to tell you which specific clause you didn't follow, then you think I have more spare time than I really do.
Sorry, but no, I don't think this patch is ok, especially that S15 clause, nice try :)
