No discussion is not a good news, though.

Always using cookie files means we no longer sometimes use them and sometimes not---which means fewer variations to think about and in general is a good thing.

As you explain in the last paragraph of the proposed log message, if the test caught a bug introduced by a premature optimization that was not-well-thought-out, the test served its purpose very well. Good.

Let's mark it as "Will merge to 'next'" again.

Thanks.
