What do you mean by "slightly harder"?  Does it mean the users can
specify alpha-component and use background transparent feature in some
harder way even if you don't revert the part of my change?  It was
intended for users to make it completely impossible to specify
alpha-component.

Also, the above reason ("too late") does not explain why you reverted
the change also in the trunk.  If you are against some of the reasons
I've given, please explain.

I don't think the argument on the GNU policy infringement
"persnickety".  Moreover, this should have been addressed before the
release whether or not I've made some change about it.
