Yep, keep in mind that "git bisect" will randomly land in the middle of
any set of patches during a debugging session and it could very well land
on this one. If it breaks, that's a real pain for the people trying to
bisect their bug because suddenly they have to deal with a second bug
totally different from theirs.
