Hi Alexey,

We're all humans. We all err from time to time.  Let's not make a fuss about a
one-time mistake.  John and Ollivier were really quick to fix the port -- my
thanks for that --, the port works now.

That such things happen is usually a sign that the porter (John in this case)
sends high-quality ports such that there is a trust relation between the
committer and the submitter.  This is all good because it helps overall
progress, and because it reduces the burden on the committers.

Let's just go on with life and discuss systematic errors once we have evidence
that flaws like this are indeed systematic, rather than random, and no earlier.

Best regards
Matthias
