I don't want to complicate things. But now - due to the repeated usage
of "remove" - these two sentences seem to be connected by an invisible
"or else" ("will" vs. "would" not withstanding). i.e. "or else
everything below will be removed, too", which is wrong. Before, they
were separated more clearly.
At least I don't think they are connected by an invisible "or else" because
they appear on different lines,

Also, given all the translations that we have, it seems somewhat strange
to try and foresee and workaround possible misunderstandings of commonly
used English phrases.
I thought the translators wouldn't mind this! If they do, then it's
better to drop
this patch.
