Patches are applied once, but thousands of people read the code in the standard library each month. The standard library should be as readable as possible to make it as easy as possible to maintain. It is just good software development methodology. Many parts of the standard library are arcane and almost impossible to understand (see httplib for example) because refactoring changes are Not done. So if someone wants to improve the code why not let them? -- mvh Björn
