This is a poor justification. In software bugs happen all the time, this
doesn't mean you shouldn't make it better when you touch some code.

... still more if you agree that the feedback makes sense.

Ah, that the patch is already merged is news to me. Indeed, then fixing
this is not sensible. My initial feedback was less than an hour after
you sent the patch and it appeared just yesterday in next, so this
wasn't easily noticeable for me.

Usually I'm annoyed about maintainers who don't react to patch series
and don't apply it. Here I'm more annoyed that I was Cc:d---which I
interpret as a request for feedback---and an hour later was already too
late for my review reply and there was (up to today) no maintainer mail
that the patch set was applied.

Best regards
Uwe
