As long as any patch has absolutely *no* chance of causing problems.
Standards aside, we've had a lot of luck with our headers and have
gotten almost no FAQs about them due to obsessive standards

example, sys/stat.h doesn't require sys/types.h) and I'd rather this
continue working than cause problems for users in the name of
"standards".
