Having the exact upstream commit id - a bunch of random numbers and 
letters - in the commit message does not make the commit message any 
more useful, readable, or searchable. You can't even click on that id to 
open a gitweb webpage with the upstream patch (having that kind of link 
*would* be useful though).

The change to the recipe is short, and no one should be overwhelmed by 
looking at it if they need the commit id.
