While factoring out segments like this, it is really important to make
sure that they are entirely the same.  I seem to remember that some of
them are tweaked in various small ways.  The patch I currently have
(the one we're talking about) has been well tested, and I don't
believe it introduces any regressions.

Feel free to restructure it, but do please make sure to test it very
thoroughly.

I think "more harm than good" is a little melodramatic, don't you? :-)

Tim.
