For clarity, this commit should be handled the same way for all stable
trees (not just 5.3), and I am replying again since my phone used HTML
which was blocked by the mailing lists :(.

My preference is to omit this commit rather than reverting it in the
near future, but if you would prefer to add this one and then revert it
because it is easier for you I will let you make that call.

Thanks,
    Doug
