The thing is, there's a pattern to this. And it has nothing to do with 
"test patch".

See commit fbb16e243887332dd5754e48ffe5b963378f3cd2, and then see what I 
had to do in ec0c15afb41fd9ad45b53468b60db50170e22346.

That wasn't a test patch, was it?

I don't want to continually see these patches that are simply adding more 
and more crap. I want to not have to clean up the end result afterwards.
