As I tried to explain, I didn't squash it because, even though
I could not find any trouble with it, I am still not sure if
it may cause trouble or not. As such, I found it better to keep
it separate to make it easier to revert it _if_, as unlikely as
it may be, it should be needed.

Ultimately I'd like to get some input from Wim on this.

Thanks,
Guenter
