Oh, I think I missed that.  I thought they were only being confused
about how cryptographic hashes worked?  There were somebody who really
wanted the "`M-q' didn't change anything, but I still want Emacs to say
that the buffer was changed" behaviour back?

In that case, I can add a variable for sure, but is that really the
case?  :-)
