send patches to the mailing list to fix them. The PPP code is in
development so it is just fine. I prefer to keep reverts for code that
is suppose to be stable.
If I did break something, then I am worried that the code gets too
complex. Such little changes should not have broken anything. Except I
made a stupid typo or thinking mistake (which happens of course). If it
fundamentally changes the code flow, then we do have a bigger problem.
