Are we looking at the same pull request?

That's ... a super crap PR, hovering near trollish behavior territory.

It's apparently a young person who submitted it. I think most of us who were that age with github available submitted some crap PRs. I remember I submitted some low quality PRs that just changed comment formatting/typos on some large repos. Not trolling, just trying to contribute in some way and get my name in the project without having enough skills for a real PR.

> just changed comment formatting/typos

I'd call those minor (valid, of course) changes, not low quality changes like what led to this post.
