I didn't trigger the issue, so I have nothing to fix. I would if it was
me who did.
And my opinion is based on experience. Please check the LMO archives for
why Ralf added this option in the first place -- many years ago. It's
probably recorded in the git repository too (I'm not sure if the option
was added before or after we moved away from CVS, but in any case old
change logs have been imported when our current repo was created).
