FTR, I'm really thankful to you for taking a look at the patch, as well as to 
all
other wonderful people here for maintaining Emacs. My text was just addressing
weak points of current development approach and is an answer to the question

email, and the patch discussion only really mentioned in the first point by
virtue of being an illustration at hand.
