Why wasn't this in the commit logs? Now it just says it was reverted, with
no actual reasoning *why*. And it apparently wasn't so obvious that no
such reasoning is needed.
Gah. I ended up amending the commit and updating it with the comment.

Yeah, sorry about that.
It occurred to me later on.
I initially converted the sgi-mod (undo mod) to a git commit and
then discovered git-revert and thought, hey I'll use that
instead but then forgot to add all the text into it.
D'oh. Thanks for the fixup.
