I read it as "improbable", but this patch came out of an actual bug 
report we had internally and code inspection revealed the leaks being 
plugged by this patch.

There was one, "This lead to a memory leak" -> "This leads to a memory leak"

Yeah, I share that too, if you are to nitpick on every single word 
someone wrote in a commit message, your responses better be squeaky 
clean such that Shakespeare himself would be proud of you.

There is a track record of what people might consider bike shedding, 
others might consider useless, and others might find uber pedantic 
comments from Markus done under his other email address: 
elfring@users.sourceforge.net.

Me personally, I read his comments and apply my own judgement as to 
whether they justify spinning a new patch just to address the feedback 
given. He has not landed on my ignore filter, but of course that can 
change at a moments notice.
