The change certainly didn't fall under the obvious rule because of its size. One might argue that 'and similar stuff' covers coding-style changes, but here again I'd fear of a certain kind of people going wild and follow the coding-style by word rather than existing practice in GCC or even the code around their changes. So, I would say even obvious patches should be posted for review with the usual (but not documented) "will checkin tomorrow if there are no complaints" style disclaimer.
Given its size, I agree that would have been the sensible thing to do.
