You are correct that the patch does more than it claims to.

That is an independent fix mentioned in my earlier message
<7vr74jxhp3.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>.  We did not have to
pay the overhead of having to call limit_list() when only
min_age was specified because we did not do traversal filtering
using UNINTERESTING logic for min_age, but we called it anyway.
Unlike --max-age that marks an old one _and_ its parents
uninteresting, it needs to filter a young one without making its
parents uninteresting.
