Oy, you're right!

To be honest, I think it was kind of easy to miss that. Maybe the commit
message could talk about this, so that future Dscho will have a helpful
hint when looking at the commit history and stumbling over this move?

If you could add that hint, I would be most grateful.

In any case, based on what you taught me I retract my objection to this
patch.

Thanks,
Dscho
