I have a better idea: how about if you tell me where you see any such message? Because I think the reason I don't see it is because it doesn't exist. It's not my job to go back and scour the archives for evidence that there is some consensus around this commit. It's your job to provide some evidence that such a consensus exists. Or else revert the commit, because so far no one but you seems to believe that this was a good idea. The fact that nobody specifically objected to one line in an email message you posted three months ago does not constitute grounds to go change it without so much as posting the patch. Or at least I can't imagine that any other committer would take it that way. Even Tom posts his patches before committing them, unless there's been specific and recent discussion of the topic.
