Ultimately it doesn't really matter to me which solution we use, they both have
the same result: I don't have to close bugs as "wont fix" for meson build
problems in the 17.3 branch. Since the 'error()' patch is in already I'm fine
leaving it at that.

If the question is about the theory of what patches are pulled into the stable
branch: I do think that it's a bit pedantic to say "this patch is too large",
because while it is large it's also simple: it just removed a bunch of files
that aren't even distributed in the tarball and requires touching up no files
that are in the tarball.
