I think that once you're comfortable you can omit RFCs for these kinds
of small things.

What I was trying to say (but said poorly) in my previous mail was: if
this change is really only code cleanup and has no other effect on the
v1.3 series, then just leave it on the trunk and let it go into v1.4.
I say this because the v1.3 series is effectively done; there won't be
much/any new development on it from here on out.
If there's a reason to put it into v1.3.1 (e.g., it's in the
performance-critical path and the new one is better), then put it in
for v1.3.1.
