Hello,

Eli pointed out that part of the obvious fix rule was somewhat confusing 
and suggested the the following.  I'm going to er, check it in as 
obvious (in a few days if no one complains :-).

  An "obvious fix" means that there is no possibility that anyone will
! disagree with the change.  Something like bypassing an interface will
! result in instantaneous and loud complaints.
  
  A good mental test is "will the person who hates my work the most be
  able to find fault with the change" - if so, then it's not obvious and
  needs to be posted first. :-)
