Would it not be sensible to remove it? I don't know if that can be done or not (don't see why not though), that way we don't have to worry about an odd version floating around. Maybe put a README in its place stating that the patch was released incorrectly, or some such?

  My intention was to provide a solution to silence the complain.
  Stand corrected. I didn't ask for your blessing/permisson first.

  Again my apology.

  Sorry that I make you feel angry.

  I am not frustrated of "next realease not coming". I was hoping
  to answer the question of why not putting all-in-one patche into a source tree
  to relieve the patching headaches.
   
  again My apology to create this tension due to my bad judgement.
   
  effort should really spend on docs,patche and bug reports.
