FWIW, I tend to prefer the existing style to keep around this code
rather than commenting it out, as one could think to remove it, but I
think that it can be important in terms of code comprehension when
reading the area.  So I quite like what 96ef3b8 has undone for
pd_flags, but not much what cc59049 did back in 2007.  That's a matter
of taste, really.
