Ok, I see. Thanks for your concern. The change is trivial and since
the issue has come up, it's best to deal with it right away. It'll
be forgotten otherwise and you have to raise the issue again when
you're good and ready for it. Also, the sooner it's in -CURRENT,
the better the chances someone picks takes this a step further and
works on the unification of all crc32 implementations. There is
awareness now and I don't expect it to stick in peoples mind for
longer than a couple of days.
