I'd prefer to just drop the patch than do something else that wouldn't take advantage of the manywarnings' scripts. The whole point of the scripts is that you update them every now and then _avoiding_ any kind of work apart from downloading and pushing a file. Any kind of thing that would bring us more work is not worth, IMO, mainly if the reason is 100 seconds in a process that already takes 40+ minutes.
