Sure, by all means,

But at least talk to the persons who patch you are marking obsolete with your
one before then. This is not the first bug this has happened on. 
Competing patches are fine, and now as Ian has unobsoleted his one, this is
what we have. Before we had someone replacing another persons patch with their
own.

The trend is not just this bug, its other ones too. Discuss first, talk to the
person who spent hours writing the patch, don't just mark his/hers obsolete and
replace with your own.

Chris
