Because it's in a completely different class. It is mandatory, and we
all know it's #1, by far.

In the wealth analogy Signed-off-by is a king; so far away from anybody
else it's not even worth contemplating.

Indeed. I had code in place to fix those, but then I decided against
that because they exemplify a crucial part of language; mistakes happen.

It would be cheating to hide that truth.

Heled-by is now part of the history, just like
Simplified-testcase-and-bisection-by, and I'm not going to try to hide
either of those.

Cheers.
