Yes, that commit is not only responsible but was deliberate.  For a better
backstory, see:

You'd notice that I was one of the people who didn't want to have this
change, so you don't need to convince _me_ that this was not a change to
keep everybody happy, but you'd need to try a better job than I did back
then to convince people who thought that "am" should directly work on
"Thunderbird saved mails" that what they want was a bad idea X-<.
