Thanks, this change looks good to me, both for the reasons you mentioned
and for other reasons discussed when the topic came up before.
For those who'd like a review of this controversial topic, here is a
list of some of the relevant messages; each message starts a thread that
can be quite lengthy. I've read all the messages in these threads, and
taken collectively it does appear that although there are strong
opinions on both sides, removal would be in the best interests of the
GNU project.
