Yeah, your patch doesn't break me because I'm parsing by field name but I 
feel it would be a shame for it to break anyone else that may not be doing 
it that way.  The set of users in the world who are parsing /proc/zoneinfo 
who may or may not do crazy things is not fully represented on this 
thread, so I don't feel it's worth it.
