   Why? There's possibility that "sending patches" will be improved as
   result of the discussion, isn't that good? Perhaps something else
   will come out of this as well, I can hope at least.

The improvments suggested so far have been very superficial, and do
not change the way how one contributes to Emacs -- which was what was
the supposed hard part at the start of the discussion.

So yeah, this is mostly bikeshedding at this point ...
