Should I change the commit message in order to avoid confusion among devs that read it?

If I change it, how should it sound? It could be:

Since GMail's certificates can be sslverify-ed there is no need to set sslverify to false, the example using it may confuse readers that it's needed since it's also used in the previous example configurations, too.

Have a nice day!
