Actually, I'd seen the report about the phantom diffs before.  There are 
only three active developers working on CVS at the moment and until 
fairly recently, there were only two.  We all have other things we work 
on too.  You were just the first person to send a patch.  The same might 
be true of some of the other problems you report and I'm still not 
convinced that all of them are problems.

Whinge all you want, patches get things done.  :)
