Please note that the 'a' behavior becomes quite wierd if 'w' patches are 
re-asked;  a says 'ok' to all remaining patches.  That is currently; all 
patches that have not been asked about yet.
With your suggested change this is not so clear anymore, and you can argue 
that they should indeed be ok-ed.  A behavior that is far from intuitive.
This does not only go for 'a' but also for 'f' and 's'.
