 Fair enough.  I'll drop the bug references then from the commit heading 
and description.  Thank you for your review.

 NB I'm not going to repost the series just for these updates.  If there's 
another iteration, then I'll include the changes there, or otherwise I'll 
just push the commit with the amendmends made, as they are straightforward 
deletions, i.e. no need to rephrase anything or suchlike.
