I consider that having a badly structured interfaces *does* screw up the base functionality; that was most of the point of my post. :-)

> I would be surprised to hear of a project that refused a patch fixing a interface wart on the grounds that "interfaces don't matter".

Most projects would accept *the patch*, it's *the bare report* that they're not interested in... and that was the *rest* of the point of my post.
