I added a commenting referencing this bit to the CF entry so it doesn't
get forgotten. Magnus raised a few other issues in his earlier review
too. Discussion of this patch seems to have jumped the gun a bit into
talking about backpatching before the code for HEAD was completely done,
then stalled there. Are we going to see an updated patch that addresses
submitted feedback in this cycle?
