And grumpy side note because I was looking at this for more than a day
blaming my new hardware:

I really wish commits (e.g. bfc467db60b7) calling something redundant
had that much of message written why something is redundant as the
commit (fb2b90014d78) which introduced that part of code.

If someone wrote one page of text why foo is needed, we should write not
less why it is not needed :)

Best regards,
Krzysztof
