Your [v6 1/2] that you build this step on does not enable the
feature by default, but this step does; it deserves to be documented
and mentioned in the proposed log message.

But I think you'd want to build this step on top of newer one, if
only to take the portability fix to the tests, and that patch
enables the feature by default, so ...
