This is about "custom", but I thought it was pointed out that ...

... these two don't have much to do with "custom". You seem to have dropped "custom" from the remaining three, and I think their description without "custom" makes more sense.

It is not a problem for me to just amend these two and lose "custom" when I apply this patch (if there is no other glitch in it, of course), but I am wondering if these are intentional.
