If only it was actually a patch and not some sed stunt...

We really need to stop doing this, a patch or a sed will both break if
the file gets modified, but a patch actually shows the intent of what is
being removed and makes it easier to update, wheras here, it removes 140
lines starting at some string.

I know the submitter submitted that exact sed line. The reason we have
committers and not a script merging random patches is so that we adapt
the submissions to fit in with our practices.
