I could say the same about you and Ivan.  Well, you don't have the
pleasure of sharing IRC channels with him.  Why you have to drag Arpi
into the discussion now is beyond me.

This one did not start the discussion.  Anyway, we have a ton of
precedents for committing consts right away, sending patches for this is
silly.  Plus, I split the patch myself, problem solved.  But no, this is
not enough, heads must roll.  How long did it take you to review that
patch?  You are a much better C coder than I am, I would be very much
surprised if it took you more than the few seconds I needed to review
it.
