Could you help by coming up with a suitable log message?

It's a bit too much to ask me to hunt for ancient discussion to correct the <<all the ack go here>> myself to describe what the issue was, especially when I wasn't heavily involved in the review of the patch itself. My impression is that the original description of the problem and the solution in your first message does not apply to what Dscho and you agreed to be the best solution.
