I understand the reasoning.  My experience working form the other end of 
things and trying to get patches together is that it is rather inconvenient 
to modify the code, generate a patch, revert the code to the current CVS 
image, and wait for the patch to come through.  I guess if I go through the 
motions a few times I might become a bit more comfortable with the process.
