The intent of the patch is to remove functionality from the xterm description to make it more like the putty description. Keep in mind that the original "putty" description was not from the core PuTTY developers; they have never contributed to any of this. > The only mention of PuTTY is in this bug report.

Encouraging PuTTY users to use TERM=xterm only leads to bug reports. To remind you, here's an infocmp listing showing the differences: comparing xterm-new to putty. comparing booleans.
