Fiddling with the code behind the various bars (or any other code that
can cause the size of a frame to change) tends to introduce regressions
in interactions between Emacs and window managers, and there are too
many window managers and build configurations to test in a period of 6
to 8 months.  As such, I'd be really uncomfortable with installing that
change on the release branch, especially since most people are not using
the no toolkit build.
