I haven't followed the original discussion and therefore don't know what
the controversy is about (nor do I feel like reading it up), but if
there is no consensus, I would expect even more than already for normal
patches that the commit message doesn't only state the obvious change,
but also the reasons for the change.

This message isn't much different from the famous "i++; /* increase i by
one */" code comment.
