Although he didn't state so explicitly, please take Junio's question
as a strong hint that you should update the commit message to include
the above rationale/explanation about why you consider this a good
change. The reason for including the motivation in the commit message
is that you want, not only to convince Junio now that this is a useful
change, but to convince future readers of the project history that
this change is desirable.
