I admit that I am guilty of posting a reversed patch. While I agree that it would be better if I were more careful, I am amazed that a reversed patch has caused such a stir. This was a single line patch. Anyone that can't figure out that a one line patch is reversed should not be running 2.1.126. Also a reversed patch is not wrong, it is only reversed. patch does have a -R switch and will even detect a reversed patch and ask you if you would like to apply the -R switch.
So my advice is to get over it!
