Yes, importlib.h changes should never be included in a patch (it would
make the patch extremely huge for no benefit).  It's strange that
you're getting modifications, though; I can't reproduce on Linux (and
don't have quick access to Windows right now).  Make sure you're
definitely at tip, and if it's still changing please open an issue.
