Comment #21 on issue 2673 by [email protected]: Volta improvements http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2673
Probably the main problem here was keeping the original author of the patch out of the loop. He would have been the one having a well-formed opinion about what changes are intentional and what not and for what reason, so one probably should have waited for a comment from him (if necessary, asking for it) instead of second-guessing the change as "probably intentional, so I'll just wait for someone better-informed to venture an opinion".
