It's set to t to avoid generating zillions of useless undo entries.

That's pretty reasonable given that 99.99% of the time, people _don't_
edit *Messages*, and yet it changes a lot.

It's silly to start changing *Messages* with the idea that people are
editing it, because that's almost never the case.
