I do not see anything wrong with it per-se, but I'd like to see somebody
made an effort to dig why the restriction is there in the first place. The
check is very much deliberately placed there and there may be a good
reason why we do not resolve relatives of indirect alternates that you are
missing when you wrote the patch (and I am missing when I wrote this
response).
