The revert in master:

- even local

So the commit message matches the summary of the patch being deleted.

The addition of this patch:

    libxml2: CVE-2016-9318

So the addition of the patch also matches.

The revert actually happened upstream:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/commit/id=030b1f7a27c22f9237eddca49ec5e620b6258d7d

Conclusion: I think the patch is good.
