Considering anybody going from 2.0.22 or 2.0.23 is now most likely to be going to 2.1.5 it would probably be better for them to download the full source for 2.1.5 directly.
Patch has been known to go wrong (mainly due to the human element) so its a good idea to download the full source every once in a while anyway. Besides that it saves Linus work :-)
