I couldn't agree more with this sentiment. I'm all for convenience but, where hacking is concerned, the brain needs to be engaged.

I've now migrated all my personal patches to the .yaml format. I'm very happy with the result. The FindZlib function for nickel is a great addition to the patching portfolio.

@geek1011,
I do have a question. Am I right in thinking that preparing a patch for a nickel nozlib CSS stream is exactly the same as preparing a patch for one of the other 3 files? i.e. it's essential for find/replace string lengths to be maintained at all times.

All we need now is another new firmware so we can fully test the theory that it should be easier to prepare/apply patches in future
