It's not as if the patch issued an explicit call SetVariable("ERROR", "true")
that could be commented, or something like that. The assignment
of the variable happens as a consequence of patched code that aims at
being correct in its error handling.
So I'm for leaving this decision to a maintainer, because I don't agree
with your conclusion that the current patch should be changed in
that regard.
