Yes, the required and/or necessary entries were added to few other
bindings. Since Amjad did not make them required, why adding them? So I
repeat the question for the third time - why do you need to add them to
the bindings?

And? Just because someone did something is not itself an argument. They
might have their reasons. If their reasons are applicable here, please
state them.
