Yes, when I noticed that my locally-hacked-tree has had these lines
removed for "longer than I remember" and that I haven't had a chance to
blame any bug on this change, I figured it should be safe enough.
I'm pretty sure it will introduce some undesirable change somewhere down
the line, but I expect there will be a much better way to solve it, and
we'll address it when we get there.
