I read Christopher Young's post and got nervous. :-)

And I would assume that a good electrician could just run a new wire from
the attic down the wall to the outlet or whatever, disconnecting the old
wire. A lot neater than the messy job of opening the wall and repatching.

Not to mention that it isn't code to patch it unless you leave access to
the new junction box.
