I added the Fixes tag, so that should indicate this is a bugfix and 
should be backported. However, no stability issues were observed thus 
far, hence none are described in the commit message. The commit message 
says exactly what this patch does.

Please tell me what you would prefer to have in the commit message 
differently, spell it out for me, because I clearly do not get it.

Thank you
