It's kind of hard to follow this bug report.

From what I gather, it's about reverting some change that was made many
years ago, and the conclusion was that we don't intend to do that.

In any case, that's even more unlikely to happen now, seven years later,
so it hardly makes sense to keep this open.  I'm therefore closing this
bug report.
