Evil is such a strong word.  It is just without benefit.  Disturbs the
transparency of things.  Technically against the rules.

Zipped patches was an edge case.  Here, I chose to take a strict
interpritation of the edge cases.  It is only a comment after all,
very little of consequence.  Besides, Arch tries hard to not patch
things  :-)

But thank you for taking the time to read and respond.  So many
maintainers ignore comments.
