These patches also don't do what they claim to do— they'll still apply fees in some cases. (Though at least thats a good thing)
Of course, it wasn't my intention for the patch to remove ALL fees. It only removes the necessity of paying the fee which started around 0.3.23.
It reverts the client behavior to the one from 0.3.20.

I'm not quite happy with that, why not eliminate forced transaction fees altogether?

Because some fees are mandatory, and the network rejects transactions without those fees as being spam.

I suspect the transaction you mentioned above won't ever be confirmed. Sad
