Being super nitty: we don't technically need the "if (size)" above
anymore since it will be handled by the "min". Then again, if we
remove it then we also ahve to rework the comment about the "if"

I'll try to land next week unless someone else objects. Another
committer is free to land before that if they feel like it.
